Glory Goat

Glory Goat was a Letherii sword with a long and narrow blade, pointed and double-edged with a modest hilt. It was forged in the Blue Style, the very earliest technique for forging Letherii steel. The blade was aquamarine in colour, and its name had been etched on the base of the blade in an arcane script. Midnight Tides, Chapter 12, US SFBC p.394-395
According to Ceda Kuru Qan, the blade's core was of twisted wire with five braids of sixty strands each. Five bars had been fused to that core to produce the breadth and edge. The sword was very flexible, almost unbreakable, but held the curse of all Blue Style weapons. If the blade touched any other a strange sound would reverberate from the sword, a cry, that went on, and on. The effect was cumulative, persistent, and sounded like a dying goat thus giving the sword its name. The edges of the blade were also self-sharpening and any nicks or notches healed, although some material would always be lost in the process. 
== In Midnight Tides ==
Brys Beddict returned to Kuru Qan to report that the city's Azath Tower had died and its prisoners were on the brink of escaping en masse. But before the Azath House perished, it made a bargain with one of its prisoners to serve as its protector. This entity told Brys it required two swords of the best iron.Midnight Tides, Chapter 12, US SFBC p.385/392-396
The Ceda took Brys to his hidden hoard of cursed weapons stashed in a tunnel beneath the Lether River. They chose Glory Goat and Sarat Wept as the most suitable swords. 
==In The Crippled God==
The sword was later given to Rud Elalle, when Silchas Ruin acquired a Hust sword.
