The Sword of Gabriel

A dark ages broadsword, re-hilted in a flamboyant medieval style (Latin motto: "Arm Yourself"). It was forged in 777 in the 7th month on the 7th day. An item of great good. The original purpose of the sword was not to fight but to convince. Anyone that preaches above the sword, and whose message is true to the Gospel is more effective in their preaching. The sword also gives the preacher a feeling of conviction if their message is off. It was twisted by evil in the 1300s to turn a preacher against God, and make him all the more effective in delivering his foul message. 
The exact provenance of the blade is unknown. It is believed it rested in a forgotten trunk or dusty mantelpiece for several hundred years until it surfaced in the 20th century at the First Faith Pentecostal Church of Richmond Virginia A parishioner built a new pulpit for the church. He incorporated the Sword of Gabriel that he had bought at a local flea market. Everyone considered it a fine addition. The Rev. William Randal Curtis caught fire. He finally found his voice and really started to preach. The church grew by leaps and bounds. In the next five years the small church became huge and twisted, a hotbed of Fundie activity. 
The sword was seized by Bureau 13 agents in a raid on the First Faith Pentecostal Church of Richmond Virginia during The Trial for Peoplehood. The sword was removed by Helenanna on the Greyhawkens' return to their homes, and recently returned by Molly Abba. It has been reforged and purified by Coran the Golden.
Final disposition has not been decided. The artifact has been purified and returned to its original function as a weapon of the mind for good. We are informed that it no longer is bent in the direction of the Christian gospels. It will aid any message of brotherhood and peace.
