Artifact •••••

The mighty blade Donanagan is a sacred weapon to the Exalted. During the Primordial War the work of Isidoros destroyed some of the stars in the sky and some he merely just knocked from their place in done of Creation. Creation after the war had 25 constellations but there were more before then. There used to be the Constellation of the Fist. Several of its stars were broken and crashed into Creation, gathered up and forged into a potent weapon to use against the forces of the Primordials. It proved powerful against demons and was used to turn the tide of several battles and saw use in a dozen major engagements against the Primordials themselves or their third circle souls. It has tasted the life blood of at least one Primordial having been used in the battle which slew Ta'akozoka, the Great Tentacled One.

The first century before the formation of the Solar Deliberative it was in the hands of a Chosen of Battles named Coren. He worked tirelessly in the south against the leftover forces of the Primordials. His passing lead to the blade going into the hands of a Lunar named Swift Shrike who retrieved the blessed weapon and carried it nobly in battle until it was lost in the Time of Cascading Years. Before then though it slew at least two demons of the Second Circle, making slight changes to the Ebon Dragon and Hegra. Five centuries before the Ursupation Bright Shattered Ice gained the blade where it languished in a museum in Tzatli. The battle that ruined that city lead to the weapon becoming lost once more. The Sidereals never found it as it became lost in the Wyld and was only returned to Creation with the Balorian Crusade, carried by a Fae general until the Realm Defense Grid destroyed her and her army leaving the weapon lost yet again.

The starmetal blade is four feet long and seven inches wide. One side of it bears the lost scripture of the Fist. The other side depicts the Black Boar that Twists the Sky being chased from Creation by the stars. The handle is wrapped in some sort of white leather from a creature no longer found in Creation's borders and hasn't since the Primordial War. The handle long enough to be held with both hands.

The metal bears a spiritual imprint from its touch by the power of Isidoros yet turned against him and his kind. The weapon exudes a potent spiritual pressure that weakens and destroys demons. This presence is undetectable to those born under Fate's guiding light and will make anything outside of Fate's bounds feel uncomfortable though only really powerful against demons.

This Sacred Blade Donanagan has all its attacks count as Holy attacks against creatures of darkness and deals agravated damage to them. Demons of the first circle who face it suffer a -6 penalty to all actions, demons of the second circle -4, Demons of the third -2, and the Yozi themselves even suffer a -1 penalty when in its presence. Used against a mass combat unit comprised mostly of demons of the first circle it deals at least one Magnitude level of damage to a single mass combat unit each action until such a time that the minor demons are wiped out. Any demon that suffers death at this weapon suffers permanent destruction.

Aside from these powers the Sacred Blade Donanagan has all the normal stats of a Starmetal Daiklaive.
