Alright, so I had an idea that there are two ultimate blades.They were once wielded by two brothers who were kings of their realms. Their souls were merged to the weapon, forever infused basically making them immortal, just without a body or a host. When these blades are wielded, they would infuse their owner with the power of time and distortion (illusions, mind games, etc). A powerful king comes in contact with one of these blades, and now the world is in jeopardy. 

Years later, there’s a blacksmith who studies the legend of the soul blades, and finally creates a much weaker version of them that works. These “pseudo blades” have special innate abilities that bind mechanically to the user, rather than spiritually. The king is raiding all of the villages and cities looking for the second Soul Blade

Here’s where we come in.
	Some of our characters hold these pseudo blades (you can have the option to wield whatever sword, it doesn’t have to be one of the pseudo blades). Supposedly, when unified, the pseudo blades point to the hidden location of the final Soul Blade. The king knows this, and is now hunting the pseudo blades. 

The pseudo blades are mechanically bound to the user and each possess a unique ability that you can create (in moderation and approval). Just let me know what you guys want or if this interests you. You guys can drop in ideas for powers for the blades, or for any other characters you might want to have that don’t control the blades.
