Commander's Pearl Broadsword

Commander's Pearl Broadsword catches the lamp-light in a patient glow. The blade is milky and pale as a pearl, broad and true, with a fuller that runs the length of the steel like a seam in a seashell. Its guard curves like a gull’s wing and is inlaid with mother-of-pearl that shifts from pale blue to soft rose as you tilt it. The grip is wrapped in ivory-tannish leather, worn smooth by hands that learned to trust its weight. At the pommel sits a small compass rose, a nod to commanders who once steered squads through fog and fire. Legends tell that the weapon was quenched in saltwater and tempered beneath a storm’s eye, a blade that could cut through hesitation as much as through armor. When you swing it, you hear the calm there, a bell-like sound of control in a world that often sounds like chaos. In battle, the Commander's Pearl Broadsword is more than metal; it’s a symbol, a promise to the line of soldiers behind you. It’s said to hum with a quiet resonance when you coordinate a strike with your squad, nudging your comrades toward synchronized motion. It’s been carried by field captains who learned to read feints in the air as carefully as they read maps. Practically, it pairs well with timing-based classes—a guardian’s guard, a ranger’s quickstep, or any build that thrives on disciplined cadence. The blade’s sheen seems to pulse when banners rise, as if the pearl core remembered every rallying cry and translated it into a sharper cut. Players often speak of its balance—the way momentum favors the hand that holds it, translating into decisive blows when the moment is right. On the market, stories follow the sword as surely as rumors: a diplomat’s blade, a prize won in a hard-fought march. Traders who understand such legacies speak in careful phrases and swift trades. At the Saddlebag Exchange, a veteran dealer once quoted a price that reflected both scarcity and lore: pristine, it would pull a hefty sum, a mark between 80 and 120 gold depending on the day’s mood and the buyer’s reputation. If the sword bears minor scars from a dozen campaigns, the price sits closer to the lower end, a bargain for someone who can tell the sword’s story as well as swing it. The exchange itself is a living ledger—the pages turning with hatchling prices and older debts, the kind of place where a well-told origin story can be as valuable as the steel itself. So the Commander's Pearl Broadsword remains not just a weapon but a document of memory—an object that travels from battlefield to trade post, from whispered lore to open contracts, always carrying the weight of leadership and the gleam of a pearl-white blade that refuses to forget who it serves. And in quiet moments after battles, the sword rests in a ship-worn chest, its pearl glow dimming to memory, waiting for the next courier who will hear its name and remember its deeds.
