The old woman Zaddion Showed the blade seems to have been talking to the others about the sword. "Madhav mentioned his grandpappy telling the knights who had the sword in the olden days could unleash magic blessed on them by their god." She directs you to the old man who continues, "Yes, that just like the one my father had." He seems unsure, "although we could never get any magic out of ours. Based on the stories I remember being told, the knights needed to have the swords blessed to tear straight through the risen dead, back in their old temple." He thinks for a bit. "The immortal knights? Eternal? Ethereal? I don't remember their name, but they had a chapter in the area. Vanished some time before the blight set in. Never could find out what happened to them."
