For what had they battled? On a once-fertile peninsula, the two armies met for one final time, a line of men stretching for miles across the battlefield. And he saw the hopelessness of it. One lone soldier. And with hands trembling, and mind ablaze with visions of a final peace, the soldier grasped the ancient relic, slowly removing it’s crumbling wrappings. And beneath, a sword. A wonderful sword, even sheathed as it was. A marvellous golden hilt, studded with white and red gems and set in the center the holy symbol in mithril of some forgotten god: A backwards Z. As the war horns were about to sound, the single soldier rushed from the vault to the center of the battlefield and with a shout of triumph, drew the sword for the first time in ages from it’s blue leather hilt. And behold, within was pure glory, a blaze of light. And then nothing. The peninsula was swallowed in shining glory and sank beneath the sea. And as the soldier’s soul sank into the Underworld, his last thought was of the tale that all the peninsula’s people had been told once, long ago in their various childhood’s: That once there had been a sword and that in it’s glory was the key to the ultimate peace.

Can the sword communicate? Is it's power always one hundred miles or is that a max range and it works on the need of the situation? Can the sword do anything else, like cut bread or poke a hole in an apple?

I would love to have this weapon when my DM rolls the next random encounter (He has send a Tarrasque at us already as a random encounter)
Yours Ylorea
I would personaly make it much more difficult to draw the sword by the way. Include a command word perhaps?

It destroys the user and everything around them, by a variable distance, so chances are, if it's connected to legends of peace as in the story of the sword, the drawer may end up destroying everything they wanted to save.

Without fixing it, it should be reduced to a legend: "And once, upon a time, Sendar the Vaillant drew the SoUG and the hordes of the demons as well as the army that lured them to the Tomb of Gods was consumed in a blinding flash. It was where the Circle Sea is today..."
It needs a little tweaking, and, to be honest, I like my fantasy without nukes.
And yes, "lhb/hlllllllllllllllll" sure is great. Some live their lives without ever hearing such a wise saying ;)
