Blade of Memory, The

"I was ancient when your kind were created!"
"Of course, the Incarna needed weapons, way before known time..."
"I would tell you which Incarnae used me, but they'd just use me to make you forget... Sages also always get my name wrong, I'm not The Forgotten Blade, nor The Sword of Forgetfulness, but the Blade of Memory."
"So who made you, if that's not a secret? Autochton?"
"No, I was created by The Ebon Dragon before even Ignis Divine had been ordained. He cut me out of the fabric of night with Calibration: The Blade."
"Wait, so ancient as you are, you're not the most ancient blade?"
"Not even among the five eldest, Mardukth, The Mountain and the Goat Upon It's blade was hidden within his crown from the moment he created it, but the eldest is She who lives in her name's sharpest blade, her name, which was with her from the start. A word so sharp it can cut the minds of anything that hears it."
"And you, you are not so ancient than these laws of reality, but clearly, you are not young..."
"I was forged in the first forge of Ligier's, the first item he cared to shape. The power to forget, the power to remember, I'm not clear on the distinction."

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Ironically, the inability of the sword to discern the difference between forgetting and remembering, means that if you try to cut out a secret from someone who doesn't know it, will make them remember it, instead, hence the blade's name.
