Chapter Text
{. . .} Confusing matters is the nature of so-called "legendary weapons", weapons crafted from Aura-receptive metals to accomplish unnatural effects. Many have claimed to have possessed some such weapons, but many of them have been utter fabrications [note: not objective enough].
Of course, when one [note: who?] thinks of the phrase "legendary weapon", they [note: who?] cannot help but think of the blade Crocea Mors. An arming sword with a collapsible shield acting as its sheath, this weapon has appeared countless times throughout the history of Remnant, first becoming known via the knight of the now-defunct Kingdom of Solaris, Cynthia Arc. Since then, the weapon has always been mentioned as the personal weapon of one of her descend[a]nts [note: misspelled], and it is said that ["]if an Arc makes history, Crocea Mors is at his side["]. [note: quotations added] The blade has been described as "gleaming", and eyewitness [note: who?] accounts note that the blade itself seems to be able to use its wielder's aura to repair and sharpen itself, although this could be [simple] hearsay [note: "hearsay" is enough, no need for "simple"].
There has also been recent talk of the rising star [note: source?] general of Atlas, James Ironwood. How, exactly, he obtained his weapon is unknown, but it is my opinion [note: be more formal, such as "it is in this author's opinion"] that it was unsurprising, as James Ironwood first rose to fame during the Great War as the squire of the Faunus General Zosma Lionheart, who himself served under King Wozwald of Vale. Although unconfirmed if his whip is, indeed, a so-called "legendary weapon", General Ironwood has been known to refer to it as "Wear and Tear", and has proven most effective in quick subduing of opponents [note: living or Grimm?].
On the subject of King Wozwald, however, it is my opinion [note: see above] that one cannot claim his broadsword and scepter as legendary weapons, as all sources I [note: see above] could find indicate that they have only appeared during the Great War, and were then given as gifts to the Floating City of Atlas and to the Desert Kingdom of Vacuo. Additionally, the rumored [note: rumored by whom?] Crown of Indecision cannot very well be considered a weapon due to its usage being entirely non[-]combative [note: this is two words]. These artifacts may instead be considered the personal weapons of particularly powerful people. {. . .}
