The Spellblade

Destroyed by Angel’s Bane to be created anew, a new dawn is upon us

— Content of the Zenith Scroll

Also called Angel’s Bane, the Spellblade is the most important item in recent history as it decided the Shattering.

Creation

Created in the fires of the hottest flame in the plane of fire, the Spellblade was made with only one goal in mind. Aviën made the Spellblade after receiving a foresight about the consequences of the magic war that was going on the material plane.
First the blade was forged from the hardest materials found over the planes, laminated until it finally formed a uniform white blade. It got imbued with the primal energy of the different elemental plane and inscribed with runes covering the most powerful arcane enchantments. Lastly it was blessed by Aviën himself, instilling the blade with the most powerful divine energy.

Destruction

After the creation the Spellblade, Aviën placed the sword onto the material plane, showing a vision to all of humanity with the plans he had for the Spellblade. This immediately lead to a new all out conflict, as Aviën had already seen it would do. Eventually the Spellblade was found, ready to be used for its intended purpose.
Aviën knew the Gods needed to be destroyed as leaving them would ultimately cause more destruction. Humanity quickly got the upper hand over the gods, using the Spellblade quickly and effectively to destroy anyone in their path. With each slain foe, the Spellblade absorbed more energy.
Eventually Spellblade reached Aviën himself, he laughed as the different warriors stormed his home, brandishing his own creation with great pride. A voice filled the head of the warriors, praising them for their strength and accomplishments and apologising for the things he was going to do. He had seen their capabilities, their ideas and flaws and the troubles they all had to go through to stand before him that day. Time froze for the warriors and with a wave of Aviëns hand, the warriors saw the blade shatter, releasing all the energy absorbed in the blade over the material plane causing mass destruction across the lands. A new dawn was upon the world with a renewed pantheon of warriors in his room.

Current location

After the destruction of the Spellblade, the various parts shattered over the planes, each part still holding a fraction of the magic that was once instilled in the blade. It is unknown how many parts their were after the Shattering and how many of them have been uncovered. This is mainly due to humanity not knowing about the original purpose.
