Truesoul Saber

**Truesoul Sabers, also known as Cleftgriffs in northern languages,** are a magical artifact and weapon capable of cutting magic. Forged from the skilled hands and hearths of a very secretive group of Mahtseves, known as the Hands of the Parson.

## Overview

Being incredibly deadly blades, Truesoul Sabers are very rare, usually reserved for powerful and influential individuals. The most notable wielders of these blades are gods, and in recent times their rarity increased due to their confiscation by Kaaz, one of the former ruling god-kings of Midrun in the brood.

Originating in Midrun culture from a wandering tribe of Mahtsef bladeweavers, Truesoul Sabers were intended as wedding gifts or gifts to promote peace in times of conflict, with the blades being crafted to suit an individual's taste and fighting style, making them incredibly specialized.

Alongside their ability to cut through magic, Truesoul Sabers also have the ability to split into multiple blades, at the cost of decreasing their power, as well as emit magic like an extension of their user's body, often accompanied by an aura which matches the augur of their user.

## Appearance

Truesoul Sabers can take on multiple different appearances depending on how they were forged for their particular intended user, but certain shapes, colors, and the material used to forge the blade can hold special meaning.

##### Color Meanings

Colors can take multiple meanings, but according to multiple bladeweavers, these colors have these general meanings as well as an association with one of the Eight Precepts of Humanity, as well as some subcolors following precepts of Oneto religion.

* Red: Passion, Revolution, Spirit, Conviction, and Love
	+ Precept: Faith- "Faith flows from an open heart with the strong tethers to fellow man, it is the root of conviction, with guidance lost without its presence."
* Blue: Royalty, Power, Peace, Devotion, and Selflessness
	+ Precept-Loyalty-"Loyalty is to give one's life to living, not only for the self, but wholly for others. The good of others, ones with true loyalty speak with the fealty and concentration of the purest kind, no malice despite cuts and deep scars."
* Green: Connections, Strength, Mentality, and Heart
	+ Precept-Brotherhood- "Brotherhood is the lifeblood of survival. It breeds affection and understanding for those without the same face yet sharing the same soul. It allows one to be themselves and accept fate as a chain of hands in the cycle of love."
* Purple: Creed, Valiance, Adulation, Compassion, Security
	+ Precept-Justice-"To show compassion for both the living and the dead, and to care enough to give one's own life in service. Love for love's sake, and what keeps the soul going, knowing that the wrongs of the world will always be righted by the indominable spirit."
* Yellow: Adamancy, Fortitude, Will, Confidence
	+ Precept: Duty- "To remain firm in one's duties in each and every aspect in life. Duty and bravery share a face, share hands, and speak truths which mirror each other. Bravery shows what is right, and such pure and true bravery is only born from a sense of duty."
* Orange: Maturity, Thought, Gentleness, Enthusiasm
	+ Precept: Honor- "Honor calls for careful moderation when dealing with others. If we lose this sense, we rush headlong into chaos. Honor speaks of one who tethers themselves to the strings of a good heart, even if danger rears its head."
* Black: Deepness, Quiet, Humility, Sageness, Duality, Sophic
	+ Precept: Wisdom- "True wisdom is chewed from the roots of our ancestors, rely on others who came before you to show the way in all things, and value life to realize that living plants your own roots to feed and guide those who will come after you."
* White: Spreading, Sound, Clarity, Confidence, Inspiring, Versed
