*Maybe he would know something about it, but it's pretty exclusively my world's lore.
For the Arcana, he figures out that it was probably some sort of god-blessed sword or something, although he can't figure out the function of a tiny rune on the pommel.*
*Well, it depends on what part of the sword... the crystal in the pommel would drop him into the middle of a battlefield of warring gods (I know, I know, safe place etc.), the rune would drop him near Caelum's crafting area in Argent (not in the room, cause protections), and the blade would drop him in an ancient abandoned temple.*
*Mind if I PM you about that?*

Soldaer suddenly looks at his sword, as it starts glowing and vibrating on its own. He pulls it out of the sheath on his hip, blade pointed up into the sky. As soon as it leaves the sheath and reaches the upright position, a brilliant beam of pure radiance shoots out from the tip. A voice enters the minds of Soldaer, Caelum, and Shade, speaking common currently.
Oh boy. I've been asleep for some time, haven't I? Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Nightbane, Call of the Morning, the weapon Eilistraee gives to her Chosen champion until their death. What exactly is going on here? I hear another voice, one that has apparently woken me from an ages-long sleep. It's saying "Kin... Join. Join us. Join the swarm."
*Backtracking to this post a bit, lol. Thought it would be fun to try the intro again.*
Caelum jerks back, surprised and confused, but regains her composure a moment later and narrows her eyes.
Soldaer turns to her. You heard that too?He asks, his expression is almost asking the question for him.
"Yes..."
"This is new..." His voice trails off.
Well, I must say this is a surprise, Nightbane. His telepathic response going out to all three participants. I never had any idea that you were more than just a normal moonstone rapier until just recently. How long have you been dormant, or asleep?
Caelum smiles and whispers quietly, "How... incredible."
"Indeed." Soldaer says, nodding his head slightly in agreement.
Nightbane responds. Let's see here, last think I remember before going dormant was being wielded in battle by a true Drow in the midst of a great war involving fiends and dragons. My wielder was struck down by this massive brute of a fiend that looked like some sort of monstrous and armored hybrid between a glabrezu and a shoosuva. So... however long ago that was is how long I've been dormant, as you put it.
*Random comment, shoosuvas are super cool and I love them so much.*
Mithris nods. "I would prefer if you're quiet about it. I don't like that being the first thing people know about me."
"Not shocking. I wouldn't want that either, though I think for different reasons..." As he's talking, he picks up his quill, and starts to draw in his sketchbook, despite maintaining eye-contact.
"What are you drawing?"
"I..." He looks down at the drawing, which features a massive dragon flying in the air, seemingly about to exhale a breath weapon (although that, and what it's attacking, are as of yet undrawn). "Oh. I wasn't trying to... sorry. Bit rude."
"It's okay. My name is Mithris."
He hesitates. "Ceris," he says, reluctantly holding out his hand.

Azazel is also on the roof, curled up against the wall. His breathing is eratic and hastened.
*This should be interesting.*
He can tell the devil is staring at him.
After a few moments, he says something, "Take a picture if you want to stare."
"Who are you, human?"
"I'm the mystical shaman of *cough* nunya"
"A child, then."
Azazel lets out a curse, throwing a rock at the devil
The spinagon dodges. "You speak only the rote taught to imps in Grenpoli, and with the diction of a dretch."
"You speak as if you know me." Azazel retorts
"If I were stuck with you along enough for that to happen, my claws would be wrapped around your throat."
Xorius watches from below, seemingly entertained.
*Description?*
*Xorius looks like a tiefling with pointed ears and jagged horns, a pair of wide wings sprouting from his back. He wears gold and black armor, and an onyx blade with the edge colored a scarlet hue hangs at his waist. His red skin is covered in blazing patterns that have a small sort of symmetry, and his eyes burn with orange flame.*
*Does the spined devil fight in the Blood War?*
