Coronation Blade

The Coronation Blade is an ancient longsword with a blade of radiant silver and a hilt wrapped in rich, royal white leather. The crossguard is intricately engraved with symbols of justice and kingship. Despite its age, the blade remains pristine, as though untouched by time.

It is a priceless relic. As an irreplaceable royal heirloom and symbol of kingship, the Coronation Blade is beyond monetary value. It is a revered artifact held by the ruling family of Rivermond.

Forged in the First Age, the Coronation Blade was wielded by Alden Riven, the first King of Rivermond. The sword's creation is steeped in mystery, with legends claiming it was a gift from celestial beings to Alden. The Dominion Church, however, denies such claims, attributing its creation to masterful craftsmanship instead. Since its inception, the blade has been wielded by every monarch of Rivermond, symbolizing the divine right and noble duty of the king. The sword's power and heritage make it a revered and sacred artifact within the kingdom.
