Notes:

  1. SP are Allocated (and de-allocated) at will by 1 sec's heavy concentration with indefinite duration.  The Allocated SP count towards SP available (e.g. for calculating when one goes below 1/2 SP), but do not count as used (e.g. for the same purpose) as they are not expended.  They are not available for use in Spells.  If the number of SP used in Magic-Using reduces total SP available to less than the number of SP allocated, the number allocated is reduced accordingly.

  2. The heir apparent (eldest son of the Emperor) or heir presumptive (eldest daughter if a Nobel Champion, otherwise Second Champion of the Imperial House) only inherits the Lion Throne if the Emperor dies other than in a Duel for the Lion Throne.

  3. Will do its Fire Damage as General Damage (no st) to any Chaotic Being grasping it.

Encumbrance: 75

History:

Its origins are lost in the mists of antiquity, and even the Sword itself cannot remember them.  Before the Year 500 it was wielded by the Kings of the Almati as the "Royal Flame".  Legend has it that SARAN gave it to Alman, First King of the Almati, when She created him at the beginning of the World.  When the First Empire was founded in the Year 500, and the Emperor given a new Holy Sword, the "Royal Flame" (which then became the "Imperial Flame") passed to the Crown Prince.  It has been wielded by successive Crown Princes and heirs of Valdrea ever since.  The original scabbard was lost in the turmoils of the Year 1000.
