The sun-carved scimitar stolen by Elhanen from her uncle the King in Yellow was the sword of the Golden Realm’s champions. It was forged from a meteor that fell from the sun, and it emits a dusky light in darkness. It causes white-hot wounds against creatures of the night, but against creatures of the day it is merely a blade of exceptional quality.
There were once many blades like the Last Light. But the warriors of the Golden Realm began to slaughter the races of night, sneaking into their lairs and dens and murdering them without the slightest justification. The King in Splendor, aghast at their excesses, demanded that all but one of the meteoric blades be melted and molded into the shape of a great crowned lion. This monument would serve as a reminder that their god watched and protected them. The statue was named Teodo, and is the Golden Realm’s most sacred monument (50.03).
