Hand of Rhazaadia

"I made it, for them all. Would I truly need it? Alas, I not need it of course, This archangel's quite the veteran of combat with or without a sword, but one of my devout followers could do with a little hack n' slash, don't you think?"  
- Rhazaadia, to her Court of Disciples
  Rhazaadia, Angel of the Exiled , was a very powerful archangel who had waged wars against Gods, to try and unveil the truth. Her name would be muddled in history many times, but across all of the readings of her story, her closest disciples had access to her hand, a longsword made to reflect the force of her power. She was able to use the magic of her archangel self to represent her values within the weapon, giving it divine strength for any that wish to wield it. She would even use it herself, for a while, to go against other large beings sent by the New Gods, including an old Avatar of Sol , long before his involvement with the most current avatar of his, Ílios, Avatar of Sol. The weapon was originally being made to fight against Demonic Lords who tried to make the desert, and Erialla, into a potential lair on the material plane, to connect to the Infinite Layers of the Abyss. It'd be repurposed, later on, to be used against Croma, Goddess of Light , once infused with Wild Magic and Rhazaadia's magical powers. 
   

History

Rhazaadia had made this weapon a few weeks after her encounter with her old leader, Croma, Goddess of Light . It was used temporarily by most of her closest disciples, and has been kept in a vault in a temple dedicated to the deceased Archangel after it's use in the conflict.
