Purity

The undead greatsword of a Mendicant knight. Named for the owner's intentions, Purity was there in the Fonnish Charge, tucked into her scabbard. Though her knight, like most others on that wretched march, perished before he could draw his sword. She waited in her scabbard. Eras rose and fell. Until at last, her knight climbed from the grave to draw her at last.
