Ender Greatsword

Fractures Series
Storyline by Rainimator and the Production Team

The **Ender Greatsword** is an ancient Greatsword wielded by Ceris prior to the events of Ender Wish, before being passed on to Rain in Wishing Dead. It is one of the three Artifacts of the Ender Watchers and made its debut in Goodbye.

## Description

The Greatsword is a pure black sword with chipped edges and a long hilt. It is extremely large and durable, as well as heavy, thus requiring two hands to hold. When not being used for combat, a purple ring appears around its hilt, while the sword floats directly behind the user. It is made of obsidian mixed with many unknown metals.

In Poison, Lance summoned Arcane Greatswords, ephmeral objects resembling the Ender Greatsword that could be manipulated with arcane magic.

### Abilities

The strength of the Greatsword is ultimately consumerate with the wielder's skill. When wielded by Ceris, it could slice rows of enemies in one fell swoop and shatter even obsidian. In contrast, Rain has not utilized such reach, only able to kill one soldier per swing. Due to its weight, the Greatsword can shatter certain surfaces to hinder enemies, although that aspect can similarly hinder the inexperienced user.

## Background

The Greatsword debuted in the hands of Ceris during Goodbye, where the Ender Watchers were summoned to help the Frostbourne in defeating Herobrine. Ceris swung into battle upon Herobrine seeing her, slicing him with the Greatsword, throwing him onto the blade to immobilize him and shortly after decapitating him.

The next time it was used was by Ceris in Ender Wish, where the Greatsword was revealed to be one of three Artifacts of the End. Ceris utilized it as the Wither Skeletons charged, slicing through rows of Skeletons with one fell swoop. She continued to mow down enemies before noticing Vordus being struck down, attempting to run to his aide. However, she was intercepted by Infernius, who pummeled and scorched her. However, this didn't hinder her fighting abilities. She instantly teleported and sliced him several times in the Greatsword before teleporting out of reach, attacking him without the Greatsword. As she fought Naeus to protect the Ender Chest, Zeganirn seized the Chest with the Greatsword and the other two Artifacts, disappearing to the Overworld, much to Naeus' fury.

Rain's first outing with the sword was during the events of **Wishing Dead**. Zeganirn had presumably gifted the sword to Rain as well as the other contents of the End Chest before buying time for them to flee. When Rain and Stella are attacked later in the night, Rain uses it to fight Djinn, the Assassin. After killing the assassin with the Greatsword, Rain can be seen carrying it on his back for the next few scenes. However, when Stella is overtaken by the Demon Curse and attacks Rain, the sword falls off of him while Rain is sent tumbling down the cliff.

Rain once again bore the Greatsword in Falling, which now floats behind him with help of a purple ring. It was not used for combat within the episode, nor in the following one.

In Be Afraid, the Greatsword was seen again in the hands of Rain. During the Endstone Crusaders' journey to the Dreadfort, they encountered a Nether outpost. On horseback, Rain used the Greatsword in the siege. Rain also used it in Eternal whilst the Crusaders sieged the Piglin Kingdom, smashing the floor to momentarily hinder his foes as he attacked. Rain used it when fighting the Mutated Piglin.
