Corrupted Dawnsword
| “ | Like, is it in the legends that the Dawnsword can be corrupted, that it changes itself to suit its wielder, that it actually has a mind and will of its own? Sanders certainly didn't tell you anything about that when he was briefing the both of you; something like that would certainly have been pertinent information.

Description
The pride and joy of the Order of the Oriflamme — or rather, it was. Casual inspection suggests that it's little more than an elaborate sword hilt with far too much gilding, but upon activation by the wielder a blade of burning, blood-red light bursts forth from the guard, dripping malice and capable of cleaving through metal with ease. Guard and pommel alike gleam with an unnatural, menacing light; the sword itself has undoubtedly developed a taste for blood.
Holding it, the sensation emanating from the weapon is palpable: the desire for strength, battle and power. Might makes right in this world, and one should not be so squeamish as to acknowledge that truth and exploit it.
Special Effect: When wielded, this weapon grants the Sword Soul ability.
Conditions
The Champion must have the Dark Knight (Corruption 75+) personality to equip the sword.
Special Effect
Allows for the wielder to equip and use the Encounter power, Sword Soul. The item must be equipped for the wielder to use the power.
Acquisition
- Obtained when a Dark Knight Champion takes the Dawnsword, instead of Liaden, to finish off the Incubus Blackguard during the events of High Ground.
Usage
While the Dawnsword or Corrupted Dawnsword is equipped or in the Champion's inventory, there are instances where specific mentions of the sword is used:
- The Champion executing Queen Alissa during the events of The Demon of Ice(equipped)
- The Dawnsword gets a special mention when:
- Training with Annika
- Talking to Lumia about Paladins
- At the end of fighting the Wraith Trolls with Annika during the events of Shadows Over the Sun
- The Dawnsword can be returned to Lumia at the Palace of Light, in exchange for the Guldring, if the Champion is a Dark Knight(Corruption 75+)
- Similar to the scene in Shadows Over the Sun, entering the Palace of Light with the Corrupted Dawnsword will have Lumia cleanse the sword into the Dawnsword, or exchange it for the Guldring
- A warning is provided before entering the palace: "Lumia will not abide the corrupt blade's presence. Keep it in storage if you do not wish for it to be cleansed."
- While the Dawnsword is equipped, when Aurora of Vigor is cast, the wielder deals an additional (10) holy damage for 2 turns.
