======Sword of Destiny======
**Status:** believed destroyed

The Sword of Destiny was most recently seen in the hands of [[GiulioRovere Sir Rovere]] of [[TheOrderoftheWall the Order of the Wall]]. The Sword can apparently only be wielded by a person of True Faith and has runes on it that when used can negate the metahuman abilities.

After the SothebysIncident the Sword was separated from Rovere and Alaistar attempted to pick it up, and was heavily damaged as a consequence. The Sword was wrapped in the remains of an [[TheAlchemists Alchemists]] cloak and was in the possession of [[ElanaKozlov Elana Kozlov]]. In an arrangement with [[TheAgency the Agency]], the Sword was transferred from [[ElanaKozlov Elana's]] custody to that of [[VictoriaRedgrave Victoria Redgrave]] and apparently taken to [[TheVault "The Vault"]], a research lab in France. This lab was subsequently attacked and during the [[NewsOct19 supposed terrorist incident in Rome]], placing the Sword was once again in the hands of [[GiulioRovere Sir Rovere]].

On Oct 24th, 2007, FioIvanov tore the sword from the arm of GiulioRovere during a [[TripoliDesertBattle battle in the desert near Tripoli, Libya]]. He brought it to TheScholarsGuild, where [[Alaistar]], SebastianNemo, [[Banaitja]] and [[Chen]] unwound the runes which caused the sword to transform its owner into GiulioRovere.

Upon the Sword are inscriptions in Latin, Sansrit and Hebrew with accompanying rune work that roughly translate into the following statements:
- I will be the smity-ness
- God protects
- Never suffer a witch to live
- I get immortality
- God's strength springs eternal
- Bound forever in service
