Artifact ***** orichalcum grand daiklave.
The Story
Crafted by the Dawn Caste Amanel Adriay, the grand daiklave known as Unrealized Dreams was forged from white gold purified into orichalcum, the most beautiful and forever beyond her reach dream that she had ever had, and the voice of her nightingale Lunar mate, torn forever from his throat in the middle of the most beautiful song that he had ever dreamed of singing, and would never be complete. As the legend goes, Amanel's mate died soon afterwards, broken-hearted and mute, and only his voice was preserved forever in the sword.
The Description
The sword itself is a work of art: while it is not ornate, or decorated very much at all, as compared to the ornamentation of many of the weapons of her peers, Amanel's finest creation has its own beauty, in the perfect purity and simplicity of its elegant, utilitarian lines, somehow smooth and flowing despite its massive size. Across the gleaming white surface of the blade lies delicate Old Realm tracery in shimmering starmetal, taken from the star of the Goddess of Sacrifice for Love. The inscription reads, simply, I am not made to realize your dreams.
