Name: Durendal
Rank: Weak
Type: Sword
Description: Durandal: The Peerless Sword, also known as Durandal: Ultimate Unbroken Hallow, is the holy sword favored by Roland and one of the many Noble Phantasms stored in Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon. Originally the sword of Hector, he converted it into the spear Durindana, and after it later lost its features as a spear, it became Durandal. It was then later said to have been granted to King Charlemagne of the Frankish Empire by an angel before being awarded to Roland. It is noted as the symbol of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass told of in the Song of Roland. Although Roland attempted to break the sword when he was on the verge of death to keep it from falling into the hands of the enemy, it proved to be impossible; it was later prominently featured in Charlemagne's legends, acting as a symbol of Roland's bravery.
The sword is a splendidly forged "symbol of power" much like King Arthur's Caliburn, and it is said to hold three miracles within it. It will not lose its sharpness even should its user's magical energy be depleted, proving indestructible even when Roland tried to destroy it. In Roland's possession, it possesses a red gemstone in its pommel rather than a white one as normal.
This weapon fell into Kitalpha’s hands after having received the blessing of the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, whose limitless treasury has been passed on to the next Queen of Heroes following in his footsteps. It’s original form has been recorded in the treasury once Gilgamesh owned it, and still exists within said dimension even though it has been passed to a new owner throughout history as a copy or ‘downgraded’ future form, as Gilgamesh calls it. It is not proven whether it is actually more potent than its currently existing counterparts, as they’ve never clashed before.
Strengths:
- Belongs to Kitalpha’s treasury and as such will always return when she recalls them to their realm.
Weaknesses:
- Any weapon belonging to Kitalpha’s treasury can be used by whomever once they are summoned, including enemies.
- Cannot permanently gift this weapon to someone else as long as she owns it, as it cannot go any further than 300 meters from Kitalpha.
Abilities: N/A
