The Twin Blades of Luna

The Twin Blades were a gift from Siofra to the pantheon who claimed to have been formed in opposition, as a gesture of goodwill in anticipation of the fun times they would surly have together. For the most part, they do indeed seek to aid those to whom they were given, but their deeply chaotic alignments can render them difficult to control.

Excalibur is the more patient and diplomatic of the two, but if not granted to a specific individual, he will seek out a wielder on his own - like his sister, he loathes inaction. Excalibur finds a home in the hands of any ruler whose rulership is just and even-handed. He will acknowledge the merits of Order, but only as a means by which personal freedom may be maintained for all. Against threats to such freedom, the Silver Blade unleashes his power. He who holds Excalibur commands the winds to his will, and may call upon the coulds themselves for aid. They are granted the swiftness of lightning in battle, and the constant whispers of the blade prepare them to keep a clear head in even the most dire situations. However, Excalibur loathes tyrants and those who restrict the freedom of others for their own ambitions - any who abuse their power will find that the Cloudreaver has abandoned them. And unless they soon mend their ways, they may soon face the wratch of his sister.

Caledfwlch is a mind of impulse and fury, and has no concern for peace. She resents any attempt to assign her where she will not be used, and will likely begin a crusade of her own if ignored. Unlike her sibling blade, Earthsunder has little patience for law of any sort, and less still for those who use it as an excuse to enslave their kin. Wherever mortals are held in chains - whether they be literal or those of oppression, the Black Blade may be found in the hands of one who refused her shackles. Though seemingly impossibly heavy, Caledfwlch is as light as a feather to the one who holds it, as she will be granted the might of the earth itself. A single blow from this weapon can cleave a hill in twain, or breach the gate of the most stalwart fortress. In contrast to her brother, she rarely stays in one place once a tyrant or slavemaster has fallen, instead moving on to a new wielder and a new set of chains to break.
