Description
(Also known as: the Blade of Echoes, the Celestial Fang, the Singing Steel, the Sword That Waits)
To most, the Star Sword is just a myth—a poetic legend passed down from ancient Edsonian texts, half-buried in crumbling glyphs and pre-contact oral traditions. It is said to lie dormant in stone, bound by an invisible resonance, awaiting the one whose soul carries the tone of truth.
But Elias knows the truth. He always has.
The Star Sword was not born of Edson. It was forged beyond the reach of time by an ancient, ascendant species known as the Rulie—a race of pure intellect and harmonic mastery who wielded the precise power of the Blue Crystals. Unlike most relics of power, the sword was never meant as a weapon of conquest. It was a tool of balance. A blade that could cut through false timelines, resonate with universal memory, and awaken dormant truths. It was created through a process called Resonant Compression, in which Blue Crystals were folded inward upon themselves through intention and harmonic convergence—binding energy to form. To wield the Star Sword is not to hold power, but to become in tune with the universe itself.
Elias’s Hidden Truth — As Told by Elias
“If I am to speak of myself, then let it be in the manner of truth—the kind whispered between collapsing stars. Long before your histories learned to walk, I served as a shepherd of what was once called the Echo Cycle. My task was not to command, but to guide: to steady the currents of time when they buckled, and to seed the tools that future ages would require.
One such tool was a blade—not forged for conquest, but for resonance. A sword that could answer only to a singular mind: one whose soul carried the rare harmonic capable of awakening balance rather than destruction.
With others of my kind, I hid this blade deep beneath the sands of Edson, in a chamber carved before even the earliest settlers remembered Earth’s warmth. There it sleeps still, root-bound in stone, surrounded by silence and the lingering hum of ancient safeguards. We once called it the Legion of the Blade, though your kind would later name it the Star Sword.
Understand this: I did not place it there for armies. I did not place it there for kings. I placed it for the Dreamer—for the one who would rise not to dominate the timelines, but to mend what reckless hands had broken.
He will draw it.
And when he does, the echoes of countless ages will shift.”

Entry: Myth Reference — "Star Sword"
Origin: Oral folklore, Edsonic culturesStatus: Unverified; culturally symbolic
Notes: Cross-referenced with "Blade of Echoes" and "Celestial Fang" in 37 historical fragments. No physical evidence recovered. Recommendation: No further action. Despite over three dozen appearances in unrelated cultural texts, the Authority never investigated the legend. It was filed alongside tales of fire-wolves, dream-songs, and gods who carved rivers with their breath.
Just another myth.
And so, the sword was left untouched, forgotten—waiting.
The Star Sword Song
Bound in stone, the star-born flame, Forged in wrath, without a name. Hands of men shall tug in vainl, For strength alone shall earn no gain.
Only the soul who walks the storm, With heart made fire and spirit torn, Shall stir the blade and break the seal, When truth is found and wounds shall heal.
Eyes veiled dark, yet vision wide, He comes with silence as his guide. Not born of time, nor bound by fate— He wakes the sword, and opens the gate. “
