Relics of the Emerald Flame

“No blade is ever truly alone—each carries a legacy, a vow, and a flame that will not die.” — Sir Gwynn of the Verdant Blade
  These relics are not just weapons or armor; they are extensions of the Knights’ oaths, manifestations of the sacred flame they carry. Each artifact is attuned to a virtue and deeply bonded to its wielder’s spirit. They are often gifted by the Fey Courts, drawn from sacred groves, or crafted in rites lost to all but the oldest druids.  

Verdant Blade

Wielded by: Sir Gwynn Virtue: Courage A longsword that erupts into green flame when drawn in defense of the land. It leaves no wound that does not also bloom with vine and thorn. Said to burn brightest against corruption.  

Shadow Cloak

Wielded by: Lady Fionna Redveil Virtue: Cunning A living mantle spun from Feywild shadows. Grants invisibility in low light and the ability to slip between thin places in the Veil. Whispers secrets when the stars align.  

Tempest Spear

Wielded by: Aedric Stormblade Virtue: Valor Crackles with the power of storm and sky. Can call lightning from clear skies and sunder enemy ranks. Said to be blessed by the Primordial of Air.  

Staff of Blooming

Wielded by: Merris the Greenhand Virtue: Compassion This gnarled staff sprouts living flowers and vines. It heals the wounded and summons barriers of thorns to protect allies. Its petals wilt when deception is near.  

Judgment Gauntlet

Wielded by: Sir Cael Blackthorn Virtue: Justice A runed iron gauntlet that glows in the presence of oathbreakers. Grants strength to pass judgment, both in words and strikes. Cannot be worn by the false-hearted.  

Beacon Shield

Lance of Starlight

Celestial Tome

Living Shield

Wielded by: Sir Braith Oakshield Virtue: Fortitude A massive, bark-forged shield that regenerates slowly from damage. The longer it stands against an enemy, the stronger it becomes.  

Everflame Blade

Wielded by: Lady Selwyn Virtue: Hope Burns with the light of dawn. Calms fear, sears through despair, and reignites courage with every swing. Said to be kindled by the Cauldron’s own light.
