If one were particular brave and particularly unlucky or perhaps lucky one might come across a strange thing in the wyld. The madness receeds and a long and winding dry riverbed appears before you. Half burried in the sand is a weapon. A guan do style polearm. The haft of an unknown wood from before the world was ravaged by the Primordial War. The blade itself forged of jagged adamant. Though the back edge of the jagged crystal blade are 3 evenly spaced rings of a blue metal alloy which jingle softly as the weapon moves. The flat of the blade is like a pane of glass in smoothness though someone has taken the time to inlay in starmetal the so called Warrior's Sutra into it. When lifted it a joy to carry. Light and balanced it can be wielded expertly with a single hand though it is traditionally used with two.
When Marus went to fight Lilike, Adrian's Fetich soul, the Chosen of Battles known as Three Tempers lead a strike unit of Dragonblooded to distract and delay the Primordial from rushing to and protecting her primary soul. Of the Exalted host only he was brave enough to go on what was essentially a suicide mission to accomplish this. Locked in battle with the River of Torments when Marus slew Lilike the tranformation of the Primordial that came with fetich death took the life of Three Tempers. His famed weapon the Warrior's Sutra being lost. It was burried in the back as it were of the now dry river that continued on out of Creation and settled lost in the wyld leaving behind the wind that would be Adorjan.
The weapon itself had been a gift from the then God of Eastern Warfare. That this god suffered such destruction that no one can ever recall its name is of no matter to the story of this weapon of course. There are those amongst the halls of Yu-Shan that would still remember it if they were to see it again though no living Sidereal or Lunar can recall the weapon. Those alive at the time assumed the weapon destroyed and lost just like the River of Torments. Yet the Wyld loves stories and weapons like these have stories wrapped in them. So it has endured and waited, its least god slumbering. Careful though you who would seek it. The riverbed that was once the River of Torments is not a safe place to be. The Raksha leave it be for a reason.
The unique power inherent in this weapon shows itself in combat when the one must face the many. It is a weapon for heros and champions not for soldiers. The first foes attacks against the bearer of this weapon are regular. Against the next set from a different person the wielder counts their DV as being 2 higher, then 4, then 6. If 5 or more people would attack the wielder before their DV refreshes, which resets the DV scores, the 5th attacker onward is treated to a successful parry against any attack that is not unblockable. Furthermore the usual 5th person in such a group of attacks does not get their attacks to be unexpected.
In Mass Combat if the user is a Solo Unit then ignore any Might, Attack or Magnitude bonus to attacks against the user though they apply for defense. The weapon counts as Adamant for attunement purposes though when properly attuned instead of making its attacks piercing it reduces the target's final soak by 4 instead.
