Changes: Sword of Aeons

Revision as of 03:03, 29 April 2011

Template:WeaponInfobox The Sword of Aeons is a bloodforged ancient weapon in Fable, in which securing the sword against Jack of Blades becomes a major plot line. The sword is revealed to have an ancient connection to the bloodline of the protagonist.

To be activated, it requires the blood of the Archon's bloodline. Once that happens, the key appears, the key is used to activate the focus sites, which reveals the sword. To achieve full power the sword requires the death of at least a person per user from the Archon's bloodline.

The sword itself is acquired in the Chamber of Fate, after Jack of Blades is defeated; in order to wield it, however, you must sacrifice your sister. Or the Hero can cast it into the vortex opened by Jack's death and destroy the sword, giving the Hero the option of receiving Avo's Tear, an equally powered sword (TLC Only). The sword has an attack strength of 550 points in the original Fable, reduced to 230 points in The Lost Chapters.

History

The Tales of Albion reveal that the Sword of Aeons originally belonged to Jack of Blades, but was stolen from him by William Black, when the latter was sucked into the Void. The sword spoke to Black, promising to help him slay the Court if he surrendered his soul. This was agreed, and Black used the sword to defeat the three members of the Court, and ultimately free Albion.

Trivia

The opposite rival sword to the Sword of Aeons is Avo's Tear obtainable only if the Hero is good and chose to destroy The Sword of Aeons.

The Sword of Aeons appears in Fable II, vaguely in one of the paintings in the destroyed Chamber of Fate in the Heroes' Guild.

It is possible to get both The Sword of Aeons and Avo's Tear by defeating Jack, then hero saving with the sword in hand. Then quit, and start the game again. When starting again, you will appear in front of the bronze doors before fighting Jack. Not only will you be able to kill Jack with the sword, but you can now spare Theresa, and then be able to retrieve Avo's Tear.
It is highly believed that the sword is what gave William Black, or Scythe, immortatlity after he gave it his soul so that he may forever wield it. He decided not to.
