It was the year that will be remembered for all time. It was 86 years after the coming of the elves to Ersadia and it was some of the final years of King Equitas I, a most beloved ruler and patriarch of the kingdom of Eldergaard. In his final address to the people of his kingdom, he announced a great quest to be completed in his name.
It was a quest that was unlike any other and had come in a vision to the king some time ago. In his dream, King Equitas saw a sword; a large and mighty work of craftsmenship of the likes he'd never seen in his long years. In his dream he saw five colored auras almost too bright for his mind to bear. These auras were colored white, blue, gray, red, and black. Each aura was positioned about the sword at different intervals, blue opposite red and white opposite black, with gray holding the sword aloft.
All at once, the sword shone with a great brilliance as each aura concentrated their energies upon it. After a mere breath or two, the sword shattered into 12 shards. The shards were then sprinkled on the land known as Ersadia so that they would never be found by mortal men. The gray aura still grasped the hilt of the great sword and thrust it towards the sky. In a final explosion of light, the hilt vanished into thin air. It was then that Equitas saw the inscription on the blade, two words that would give him the strength of 100 men when he neared the time of his death.
Those two words, written in archaic Celestial writings, were the words "Divine Right".
