== History ==
A very old blade, Hatred traces its first recorded origins to the Galyon family now residing in Rygild. It is not documented how the family came into possession of this blade, but they retained ownership for several centuries. The sword has a well-known reputation in Rygild and Adara, and any noble who knows their heraldry will recognize the sword on sight. Responsible for many massacres and acts of horrendous violence, the sword has as dark a reputation as the family who owned it. Known for acts of wanton cruelty before the sword came into their ownership, the Galyons who have wielded the sword were known to select a "volunteer" from their own ranks before entering battle for the sole purpose of awakening Hatred's power. The blade earned its name due to the Galyon's usage and indulgence of its power since gaining ownership. The sword fell to a new owner, Rana Yalool, at the last Battle of Rheene when he claimed it from the fallen Galyon he had slain. The Rheene family refused to force Yalool to bequeath the blade back to the Galyon family.
