At least six feet of sharpened steel blooming from its bed of a hilt, with an extra crossguard to protect its ricasso. This massive greatsword boasts a hilt that looked worthy of scores of hands, but a proficient warrior would know that it allows the sword to be handled almost like a spear, granting its wielder flexibility and speed at different ranges, according to their grip. Its black blade looks similar to other weapons of Yldorian make and its crossguards swirl with much pageantry.



"Nightspell. A blade that not only breaks formations, but can break magic itself. Allow its Emril steel to taste earth and its Celestine Iron pommel to reach for the skies, and it shall shield you with night itself. The dark smoke that will coil from it not only distracts your foes, but will devour most magic it cleaves through and absorb their energy for its own. Should someone, say, launch at you with arcane fire, you may strike back at them with their own flame. Beware, though. Once employed, it will need to bathe in moon- and starlight for a full night before it can see use again. And some magic might be safer to absorb than others, as you will see its smoke mimic the given element."

Forged by House Yldore in the generations where they had perfected their mixed alloy of Emril steel and Celestine iron. These are rare materials, so it represents a time at the height of the house's power, confident in using so much raw material for a blade of this length.
