Storm sword is a relic of Pyre, the affinity of fire, destruction and war. It holds an old piece of Covenant-stuff, the substance of the Seal-shards, bound into a long blade, and its treasure spirit answers to Wefan, the Weaver.
The sword belongs to the storm. While it is held, every company in the holder's army that strikes with lightning strikes harder, and stands better against lightning turned back on it. Companies that fight any other way gain nothing. It rewards a lord who has already gathered the storm's children, and does little for anyone else.
Heaven counts the sword in its holder's Weight, so the Law of Equals sets that kingdom among heavier rivals, and a conqueror can carry it off as spoils.
No one knows who made it. Sealborn say it came from the same forge as Thunder maul, and that the two were made to be carried by one army. That is a belief. The maul has a thirst the sword does not share, which some take as proof that the forge was not the same at all.
Tellan, the Keeper of Tallies keeps the sword among the Mnemoliths between Turnings. There is one in each Turning, and if it is lost, its shard returns to his keeping for the recasting.
