Ithildin, Holy Longsword

Ithildin appeared in the crypt of the great Cathedral of Helena in Fairwater, at a time when the High Priestess was having visions...prophecies even...of a champion who would come and help lead the church on a long path out of the darkness. The sword must be for that champion, clergy surmised...

Soon thereafter, a former acolyte of the church returned after years away with plans of expanding the influence of the church and it's ability to help the peoples of the outer realm. It was Steven Rogers.

High Priestess Aria took Steven and The Cloaks to the Crypts to show them the sword and those who didn't avert their eyes were temporarily blinded. Steven was drawn to the sword and as he grasped it, he was instantly whisked to the Celestial Plane and face to face with Helena and Hadryon. Helena revealed to him his destiny as her champion and also that he had a celestial heritage as well. This gift would grant him new powers as well. Helena introduced him to the Solar, Sariel, who would be his guide when needed. Helena kissed him on the cheek and he was instantly back in the crypt of the Fairwater Cathedral, holding the sword.

This same day, Sariel visited Aurelia in a dream revealing Steven's destiny, angelic heritage, and extended lifespan to her...she remembers these things, but at the time they were confusing to her because she was battling against the early stages of madness and depression caused by the events of her time in the Void.

The sword has the symbol of Helena, the feather, on one side of the pommel, and the other side has the symbol of Haydron, the hammer. After a year of so of wielding the sword and becoming comfortable with it, Steven's devotion to Helena continued to grow.
