The arming sword belonged to Captain Kaspar Röist, who died so that Pope Clement VII could escape. His wife, Elisabeth Klingler Röist, took up his sword when invading forces broke into their home and began hacking at his body. In her moment of desperation, when she was ready to give her life to defend her husband's body, she was granted divine power. Templars that had embedded themselves amongst the Pontifical Swiss Guard bore witness to the event, and managed to persuade her to escape Rome with them. She eventually became the first woman ever to be admitted into what eventually became the Modern Order of Templars. ''Amoris'' was handed down from master to student. While the sword had to be reforged and repaired during all this time, it never once was shattered to the point it couldn't be restored. Erin's adopted father, Monsignor Mendoza, had wielded it prior to being permanently injured in Indonesia. Now she wields the weapon.<br><br> |
− | + | ''Amoris'' is a short sword known as a schweizerdegen, with a blade that is 28 inches in length. It has a fluted section of blade, which tapers into the rest of the sword's shaft, before the blade itself tapers into a sharp point. The crossguard is golden, with the Latin phrase ''Amor animi arbitrio sumitur, non ponitur'' etched in tiny script. The wooden grip is made of dark walnut, which has been well smoothed from so much use over the years. The butt of the pommel is golden, with the cross side of a Templar coin set into it.<br><br> | |
+ | ''Amoris'' has special properties to it, a secret shared from master to student each time it is handed down, though when the sword began to exhibit these properties is a mystery. Such properties include the ability to create protective barriers, and it deals extra damage to undead/unholy enemies. | ||
