- While the 3 Blades of the Rising Sun are formidable and each potent in their own right it is only when they are placed together that one gets to see their real power. When the blades are all committed the user can feel that they can naturally be place together, and desparetely want to be. By taking two miscellaneous actions the Exalt's hands seem to move instinctively to make a composite out of the pieces. Hope of a New Day forms the core and it changes very little to do so. All the user has to do is press the pommel upwards and twist to the left, which causes the haft to extend slightly. Time of Battle is the first sword to go on, and it changes extensively to do so. First off, the wielder must twist the haft to the right and push up. This disconnects it from the bottom of the blade and allows that bottom piece to actually meld back up into the whole. The haft then slides backwards and moves up into the sword, which causes the weapon to actually lengthen and for a slit to appear in it above where the haft used to be. Time of Battle then slides over the top of Hope of a New Day and locks into place. As it does so an opening appears in the back of the blade showing that it is time for Ascending Beauty to be placed into the composite. To begin this process the wielder must pull out on the hilt and fold both sides down. This action allows the entire haft to fold up and into the back of the blade. Once this is done Ascending Beauty slides easily into the space on the back of the composite, blade down. With this final action taken, the composite is complete, a rush of sunlight floods over the sword, bright enough to be seen for a mile, but not blinding to the eyes. Once the light dims the blade looks changed and appears to not be a composite but an actual whole.
- The sword itself is a square, single edged, chopping blade of Grand Daiklave size, except that it is actually a little larger then a foot in width. On either side of the blade a sunburst made of the morning's rays appears upon steel that seems to be to perfect. The edge is orichalcum and it seems to hold Solar fire crackling on it. When made this sword bears no name on itself, instead its name is just known to all who see it, for it is the embodiment of its time, it is Transcendent Morning. Transcendent Morning may be taken apart once it is made. The removal of the swords must go in the reverse order they went on in, albeit each of these actions are reflexive. Regardless of whether or not the user takes the sword apart, it will separate into each individual blade after one scene.
- The Daiklave has all the abilities of the swords that make it up.
- All illusions and disguises are dispelling before the coming of this blade, and such is its power that no illusion or diguise power may be used for the rest of the scene.
- Any hearthstones the user possesses in the other blades appear upon Transcendent Morning in this fashion: 1 in the pommel, and 1 in each sunburst.
- Crafting Process for Transcendent Morning
- Taking each of the 3 swords and going through the combining ritual every morning from when the sun first crests the horizon till it is fully above for a week straight, every time infusing it with essence until the very swords themselves know the process and want to be placed together because they are unable to be whole normally.
- In order to truly finish the transformation and bring Transcendent Morning into existence a single mote from a member of each caste besides the users must be committed into the blade to show that their trust and faith in the warrior is true and not false.
