Eminence

Artifact ••• (Celestial Rank)

"The history of Eminence begins a long time before the present day, in the height of the Anathema rule during the First Age. It was forged then, at the behest of the Demon Princess Tamiko, by her circlemate One Thousand Perfected Blossoms, for the Demon Princess's war on the Kingdom of Nantara. Nantara was at that time governed by one of the Unclean, who had, as Anathema are wont to do, betrayed his demonic peers and began to bolster his armies with the lesser demons of Malfeas.
The blade itself was forged from the first light of dawn on Calibation, inset with the cursed gold known as Orichalcum to be a powerful weapon against all that the Unclean might summon. In additi-..." -- Forging Eminence, An Extract from the Book of One Hundred Sighs.

Eminence is in appearance a Reaver Daiklaive. Its blade is a little over 4ft in length, the thickness varying from 8" near the hilt, before a graceful curve of orichalcum guides the dawnlight out to the thickest part of the blade, around 10" across, before the curve continues, guiding the light to a sharp point at the end. The blade itself is most visible when its native dawn light falls on it, fading almost to invisibilty in the twilight that ends the day, its faint glow at night somehow no more visible than the shimmer in the noonday sun. The orichalcum on the blade, as well as guiding the edges, is twisted into sigils of warding against unclean threats. The hilt is of a simple design, trimmed with orichalcum, a single hearthstone socket on the pommel.

Dawn's Glory - The blade edge glows with white heat, inflicting horrific wounds on those it cuts. By spending one mote on an attack any 10's rolled for damage count double. This power maybe be used at any time, though must be declared before the attack.

Dawn's Fury - The sigils on the blade start to glow with a crimson light, imbuing the blade with a terrible fury vs unclean things that stalk Creation. For 5m, the blade does double damage for a scene to demons, the dead and other such creatures.

Dawn's Wrath - The blade shatters into a thousand pieces of razor edged sunlight as the attack is made, spreading out to effect all those close to the wielder. This power may only be invoked after a successful attack on a creature of darkness, and affects all those within twice the wielder's Essence in yards (or 3 times if the original attack was Charm-enhanced) with an attack that has a base damage equal to that of the weapon and a number of successes equal to half that of the original strike. This power costs 5 motes and a Willpower to invoke. The blade reforms in a flash of light at the start of the next turn.

Eminence costs 6m to attune to and has a single Hearthstone Socket.
