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.

Magical Properties:

When drawn from it's marvellous sheath, the Sword of Unattainable Glory's true power is revealed. The power of the sword is so pure that everything around the drawer in hundred miles is destroyed.
