The Sword
The sword of the order is of the old style, with a wide blade and parallel edges, finally tapering to a triangular point. This point represents the fulcrum, the point of balance upon which the scales of justice rest. The edges, equal in length and importance, represent the two classes we defend equally: The noble and the common.
It is a simple weapon, and it's purity should be reflected in your soul. It is a sturdy weapon, and it's strength should be reflected in your dedication to your oath.
