Elder Sword

Ala'Reyn-Rellixyuu, also known as Alareyn, Alreyn, Alrin or more commonly The Elder Sword or Elder Blade, is a legendary medium-long one handed sword. Over the history of Shadowsong, the blade is famed for being used by the greatest heroes ever to exist in Shadowsong, and its use being associated with great impact on the dynamics of the world, it's deities and the sociopolitical climates of it's people. The aforementioned names for the blade are also the same names given to the Saviour, a mythological hero who used the blade to defeat every known evil deity in the known world. The elder sword is most recently associated with the hero Shill in its use to seal the demon knight deity Diablia from the realm of Shadowsong during the Second Guild War.

The blade itself was originally crafted by the First Eldrinians within Met's Gorge. Over its long history and numerous users, it has been granted a number of blessings and enchantments. It was later imbued with the blessings of the elder trees of Stonehelm. When the elder tree Ender was at the end of its life it bestowed its powers and soul into the blade. It is famous for its immense durability, ability to cut through non-Shadowsongion matter and even through space-time. It is incredibly hard to find and seems to present itself in times of need. Following the events of the second guild war, Alreyn was sealed by Shill within the Pond of Sunui in Dragonshore, under the protection of the earth itself.

History and users
Ala'Reyn-Rellixyuu was one of the first blades to be forged within Met's Gorge by the First Eldrinians, who were possibly the first human settlers of the lands that make up Shadowsong. The sword is made of a combination of metals, with a substantial percentage being perdition gold. When the Gorge erupted, the blade was sealed inside the mountain that remained. It is believed that travellers or looters who wanted to claim some of the treasure trapped within Met's Gorge succeeded in finding the blade and escorting it out of the mountain.

The sword, presumably fetching a high price due to it's high perdition gold content, fell into the hands of a royal guard named Huelin. Following a substantial leg injury, Huelin was forced to leave his duties and work as the head town guard for his hometown of Aalskoven (now Valent Town in Southern Eldrin). A young teenager who worked at the town mill, named Sanses, was gifted his blade by Huelin after he saved his son from a wolf attack. Sanses would live his life as an adventurer, who heroically resurrected the spirits of the lake guardians of Shadowsong. The blade was resultantly blessed with enchantments that gave protective forces and heightened senses to the user. The lake guardian Raklamae, the serpent guardian of Lake Sunui (eastern Dragonshore), lent their spirit into the blade, such that the blade gained a lifeforce. The whereabouts of the blade became as obscured as the rest of the life of Sanses, and was effectively lost.

The elder sword was retrieved by the legendary hero chosen by the gods, who also goes by the names given to the blade, who used the elder sword to single-handedly defeat all of the Old Gods of Shadowsong, their hordes of demons and the 9 demon consorts of each of the Old Gods. This hero is remembered in legend as The Saviour, and is generally believed to have achieved feats so apocryphal and improbable that the existence of the Saviour is disbelieved in current times. Yet, the Saviour is a recurring character in many fables and children's stories (much like Hercules in Greek mythology).

The sword was guarded deep in the earth by the intertwined roots of the elder trees during this period. As the elder tree, Ender, began to die, allowing for the rise of the demon knight Diablia threatening to take over Shadowsong, the trees sought a hero sent by the goddesses of the void to inherit the blade. The hero Shill emerged as the chosen champion of Shadowsong, who was granted the blade from the Elder trees. Shill used the blade to defeat the demon knight Diablia during the course of the Second Guild War.

The Elder Sword is a unique and powerful blade featured in all three games of the trilogy. Crafted piece by piece by unique and divine elements to each kingdom, the Elder Sword is the only sword that can physically damage enemies outside of the living world. This comes to play during the Pendant of Infinity. In the second game, there is also revealed to be an Elder Bow and an Elder Staff, though during the first and third games these weapons are completely overlooked. This is almost certainly due to the fact that other plays of different classes could fight in the Distortion World.

The sword originally belonged to the Watchers, though was given to the Elder Trees of Stonehelm to guard. Each tree planted a unique seed beneath their own bodies, which would eventually reveal the location of the Elder Sword. Shill obtained the Elder Sword during his adventure and used this weapon in order to defeat the Watcher Diablia. After that, Shill left it in a secret garden of his made for him by the Elder Trees. Orion later recovered it during his adventure, as did Ariel for a small time, though Ariel never used it in combat.
