The Viltis Glaive

A Soul Arm above all others, the glaive is embedded with the essence of so many gods that it's potential is immeasurable.

• The Introduction to the Viltis Glaive by The Etcher's Faction.

The Viltis Glaive is widely regarded as the most powerful Soul Arm in all of Thysia, both in terms of the raw strength it possesses, the way it does not conform to The rules of Soul Arms and it's political power (whomever can wield The Viltis Glaive will become king of Paradosia. The Glaive stands 8 and a half feet in length and has a thick leather and ruby ingrained wrapping around the polearm whilst the base of the polearm is a large jagged diamond with a rainbow coloured flame burning within the jewel. The polearm is 7 feet whilst the blade measures 1 and a half feet and it is a golden colour with an emerald green edge, the blade is thick and will show constantly shifting writing and images, many scholars believe these images to be flashbacks of the many incredible deeds undertaken by the blade.
The Blade is the only Soul Arm in existence that is known to grow to immeasurable strength and also to NEVER change when it is inherited by the next head of the Viltis family, instead, the glaive simply evolves further and adds more stories to it's blade, making the power it holds at this time a potent thing indeed.
In the hands of the current king of Paradosia Gregor Viltis, the glaive has become capable of gifting power to the Armsbearers of Paradosia, changing their own Soul Arms to match the colour of the Viltis Glaive and giving their family a clean slate of judgement (making becoming an Armsbearer a VERY attractive prospect in Paradosia). The only notable downside to this glaive is that, for Armsbearers who are found to be lacking in loyalty to their king, their power is absorbed by the glaive and they are left with no Soul Arm... a fitting punishment for any who would turn on their country and ruler.
