[color=2e2c2c].............................................................................[/color][/sup][/center][/cell][cell]The Noble Vow is a timeless legend, known throughout the All-Verse. There are countless fables, myths of heroes from antiquity and tales of betrayal that trace their origins back to this simple weapon. In the early days of humanity, the few people brave enough to pursue acts of good and compassion subconsciously formed the Noble Vow, willing their plights into existence over the course of centuries. Their desires for an end to the tyranny of ancient warlords sharpened the blade, their wishes to save the ones they loved guided their hands. And with each passing lifetime, the sword only grew more powerful. When one first holds the Noble Vow, the magic that created it judges their soul. It looks for conviction and true, unwavering belief in a cause that the wielder would stand up for. To command the blade's power demands that one be their absolute, truest self. 

Lying, going against one's inner code and self-doubt at any level can threaten to compromise their connection to the Noble Vow. Without it, the sword is dull as a rock, and won't cut anything. But should one be chosen by it, they can tap into the collective might of every single wielder who has ever come before them. All their skill with this sword is passed down to them in a vivid recollection, giving them the power to fight against even the most deadly of enemies without breaking a sweat. Reflexes are heightened, the wielder finds it absurdly easy to land their strikes, and some have even gone so far as to swing the blade with speed that defies all reason. The Noble Vow is also able to cut through even the toughest apparitions, as if they were mere flesh and blood. Those with a particularly evil demeanor, or people who harbor their own guilt and self doubt, tend to suffer the wounds inflicted by its blade longer.
