Fateful Sword

**Fateful Sword** is an Eldest scion of Ourselves and is the most legendary and prolific warrior of the vestren, aswell as being a lesser god amongst them. His portfolio includes self-defense, protection, honor, and strength. Fateful Sword was originally created alongside his brothers, the Opal King and Arcane Star, to defend the vestren in their exodus to Theirhome. He was designed by Ourselves to represent the power and honor among vestren, being the perfect warrior and the example of how all should fight and defend their lands. His symbol is a sword stowed behind a shield.

## Description

Fateful Sword appears as an extremely tall and strong vestren, even beating out the Opal King in height. He has a very pale skin tone, long white hair, and wears fierce black armor, made for combat, and forged from the highest grade of theirstone. By his side, he always is shown to have his longsword. Due to his position as Ourselves' scion, he is immortal, despite taking on the appearance and biology of a mortal vestren.

## Personality

Fateful Sword is a very proud and sometimes slightly egotistical man, representing the best and worst of honor and pride. He almost always wears a confident expression and walks with a lot of purpose in his step. This is not unwarranted, due to his prominence as a legendary warrior and being of godlike strength. He inspires others to take up a sword and protect what is rightfully theirs.

## Abilities

The greatest vestren warrior of all time, Fateful Sword is a master of swordplay and is said to have taken on hundreds of scourgebeasts on his lonesome during the exodus from Oldhome. Unlike his brother, the Opal King, he never got a scratch on him. He was a great teacher aswell, allowing many vestren to succeed his army and take up his old guards in his absence, since the vestren were taught how to manage their troops and protect their people.

## Realm & Possessions

Being a scion, Fateful Sword does not have the power needed to claim his own realm. He currently resides in Beyond The Stars' Reach, the realm of Ourselves, since his work on Elegy had been completed long ago.

He wields his legendary longsword, Lighteater, and his shield, Everguard.

## Activities

When he first arrived in Elegy, Fateful Sword, alongside the Opal King and Arcane Star, led the vestren away from the compromised city of Oldhome and led them to Theirhome where they could flourish. After this, he helped the vestren learn how to defend themselves from the scourgebeasts and any other aberrant threat that might come from the wilds. After Theirhome's military was strong, organized, and well-trained, he and rest of Ourselves' scions, save for the Opal King, returned to Beyond The Stars' Reach in order to assist their creator. Currently, he grants spells and power to his troops and answers prayers of advice for the military of Theirhome.

## Relationships

He is the scion of Ourselves, one of his greater scions at that, and his siblings consist of the Opal King, Arcane Star, Fair Maiden, Towering Craft, and Ample Reaper. Fateful Sword does not interact with other scions and is not considered important enough to be aware of the agendas between the other inheritors of the Eldest.
