Mortemium Blade

The Mortemium Blade is a legendary sword, forged by Damocles the Smith and is one of the three works that make up his Magnum Opus. While he was unable to achieve his goal of capturing the wrath of Invictus Tenebros, he did succeed in creating one of the two most powerful swords ever created.

Though little is known about the forging or enchanting techniques used by Damocles in its creation, there is a great deal known about the abilities the blade possesses. The bloody history of Ebira is testament to that fact. It is a bastard sword forged of an alloy only possible to create using the hammer that forged it; the Hammer of Damocles. Its blade is black as night, its hilt designed in the visage of Invictus with jet black pieces of onyx adorning its guard and pommel.

It serves as a magical amplifier and conduit, increasing the potency of its users magic regardless of its source. The blade’s master is granted elemental mastery over ice and the ability to conjure feral Venatorii. Additionally, those who fall to the Mortemium Blade can be raised to fight at the behest of the sword’s master.

Traditionally, the sword has been wielded by one of the two martial champions of Cycien. Following the Illian invasion during the Aevum Bellum, Azazel Valkyrion slayed the blade’s last master before claiming it and Cycien as his prize.
