Elanthir

The Elanthir; or "Guardian-Stones," were seven powerful artifacts created by the Council of Sorcerë.

For their earlier aid in the defeat of Alokkair, the Saar made the momentous decision to award powerful magical artifacts to each of the Seven Champions of the West.

Called the "Elanthir," The Council crafted seven pale blue gems, which were then set into magnificent swords. When in battle, the blades of these magic-infused swords emitted a bright blue glow.

In the year 1174/3, the Saar distributed the seven magical swords as follows:

Avenger was given to King Eradan Myrnäe of Alveron.

Darkslayer was given to King Athrenar Sanborn of Ralas.

Equalizer was given to King Eldan Durethë of Eldara.

Gloomchaser was given to Edric Garigan; the Amari King of of Amar.

Hellrazor was given to King Rhodan Mallistäer of Rhodara.

Lightbringer was given to King Ilnavel Cyrenäe of Iskandar.

Peacemaker was given to King Algerd Marothë of Thalar.

Fate of the Swords:

Over the centuries, wars and other catastrophes caused four of the Elanthir to be lost:

Peacemaker was lost in the year 825/4, when King Edgerd Marothë III was slain and his fortress of Sol-Kathad captured during the Storm of the North.

Darkslayer was lost in the year 1244/4, when King Malenvar Sanborn III was drowned during the Battle of the Volnar Strait; the sword going down with the king and his ship.

Equalizer was lost in the year 1257/4 when King Hagar Durethë II of Eldara was slain during a Vilzari ambush. Hagar's sword was carried off to the city of An-Khara.

Avenger was lost in the year 625/5 when King Elrovar Myrnäe III was slain by the Zûl during the Battle of Harkalad. Elrovar’s sword was brought back to Sorimmar.

Today; the remaining three Elanthir continue to be wielded by Royal Houses in the west as heirlooms of their kingdoms:
