Editing Avatar Blade

{{Infobox

[[Avatar Blade]]s are legendary relics from before [[Cataclysm|the Fall]], swords once borne by [[Avatars]] and now thought to be cursed. It is said that a different curse is associated with each Avatar Blade. The [[Scrolls of Libris]] seem to reveal that there were many Avatars, and many Avatar Blades; many were named and had specific qualities.

{{Spoiler|Blade of the Avatar}}

One such weapon is detailed in the {{BotA}} novella, [[Aren Bennis]] found the blade known as [[Eye of the Scales]] in an [[Avatar Tomb]] beneath [[Midras]]. That sword is described as a longsword with a circular pommel inscribed with the three-linked sword symbol in black. Runes similar to those of the [[Guardians of Midras]] adorn the fuller. Once Aren takes the blade, these runes glow purple, shift and change. Unlike other Avatar Blades, the one Aren found has a symbol on the pommel near the end of the hilt, which depicts only one curved sword rather than three. Other blades have different appearances.

This particular Blade seems to grant the one who holds it with an unusual insight into the people nearby. While Aren Bennis appears to benefit from this insight, General [[Milos Karpasic]], the only other person to have touched it so far, looks to be terrified by the experience. This is the aspect known as 'true sight'. Each of the ancient blades reflect the [[Virtues]] to some degree or another, and exhibit powers for each of those reflected.
