Killers mantle is a relic, a unique treasure that Tellan, the Keeper of Tallies keeps among the Mnemoliths when the world is unmade. The dark mantle holds an old piece of Covenant-stuff, the substance of the Seal-shards, and its treasure spirit answers to Wefan, the Weaver.
Tellan names no maker, and where its shard lay before is unknown. The unearthed tell an ugly story with it. In the Age of the First Sealborn, a veteran struck Wen Sarai out shortly after she arrived, and Daegred, the Sunward made the Newcomer's Grace so that no newcomer would be taken that way again. The traders say the veteran wore this mantle, and that its core runs Umbra, the affinity of death. No record names the veteran, and none confirms the tale.
The mantle does not fight in the open. Before battle it slips among the holder's companies and selects one, never the one at the front, to strike truer and harder. It selects one enemy company, too, and hampers it. The holder does not decide either. The mantle works in the shadows it keeps to.
Its price shows only in what follows. Heaven weighs relics, so the mantle makes its kingdom heavier in Weight, and under the Law of Equals, stronger rivals come within reach. Even a hidden blade is counted.
