"A sword is not inherited from one's ancestors. It is borrowed from one's descendants."
- Ancient Grey proverb
Forged during the founding of Greynor, Greensward has served every reigning Grey monarch in turn. Although its appearance is elegant, close inspection reveals dozens of painstaking repairs. Tiny differences in the steel betray centuries of reforging, while the leather grip has been replaced countless times. Nothing about the weapon is ornamental. Every change was made to keep it in service.
Greensward embodies the philosophy of House Grey: preserve what is good, endure hardship, and turn adversity into protection for others.
Sentience
Greensward is not sentient.Instead, it possesses an instinctive magical will that responds to acts of courage, sacrifice, and mercy. Its magic grows brighter when used to defend others and noticeably duller when wielded selfishly, though it never refuses its bearer.
