Sword of Kings
From Final Fantasy Wiki
- "This is the sword. The Nethicite destroyer."
- —Ashe
The Sword of Kings (覇王の剣 [はおうのつるぎ], Ha-Ou no Tsurugi) is an ancient relic in the world of Ivalice in Final Fantasy XII. The sword belonged to the Dynast King Raithwall and has the power to destroy Nethicite.
[edit] Story
Given to King Raithwall centuries ago by the Occuria, the Sword of Kings, more likely known as a Treaty Blade back then, was given to him so that he may cut off Nethicite from the Sun-Cryst. He travelled to the Pharos at Ridorana and cut three shards off. After uniting all of Ivalice, he gave the Sword of Kings to the Gran Kiltias at the time, to keep it safe. The Gran Kiltias did so, by sealing it in the Stilshrine of Miriam.
Seven centuries later, Princess Ashe came to Mt. Bur-Omisace, looking for a power that can counter Nethicite. Gran Kiltias Anastasis told her of the Sword of Kings, and where it was sealed. The party travel to the shrine, and find the sword.
Upon reaching the Sun-Cryst with her own Treaty Blade, Ashe had to decide whether or not to destroy it. After fighting Judge Gabranth and Dr. Cid, she finally decides to destroy it. However, before she can, Reddas takes the Sword of Kings off her and destroys the Sun-Cryst. Reddas is killed in the explosion, and it can be assumed the Sword of Kings was destroyed along with him.
