It was never meant to be just a weapon, but something more personal, something closer to devotion given form. The blade was created within the halls of [[Candlekeep]] by an ancestor of House Halcrest; a smith who treated their craft with the same care and intention others gave to written word. Every detail reflects that level of precision. - The guard, worked in gold, carries an Elvish inscription that has been worn down over time, its full meaning now known only to Olivia’s family. The velvet-green grip is a later addition, fitted to her hand years after the blade became her own, shaped to match her balance and reach. At the base, the pommel takes the form of a delicate golden flower. - Along the hilt, there is a small carved figure of a robed woman, hands folded in quiet blessing. It is said to represent the matron who founded her family line, a reminder of where she came from and what she carried forward. Olivia never parted with the sword. To her, it was not just a tool, but something constant, something that held memory, identity, and direction all at once.
