Well, we'll work out sword backstory once we have a sword, eh.
Based on discussion, I'll have a go at it:
The Faded Blade - A broken, 2' long steel blade (mod 4) that looks like it was originally 3' in length. The gem in its tarnished folded-wing hilt is likewise dark and murky, the blade as a whole giving the impression that it has seen better days.
> Scattered - The remaining portions of the blade can repair itself like any magic item, but for some reason the blade will not replace the missing section.
> Tied - When gripped with the intent to wield it, the missing parts of the blade will phase into view - ghostly but solid. If something is overlapping with the sword it will not completely phase into view until that is no longer the case (no surprise stabbings).
> Legacy - Rinku's Ancestral Mass can control any abilities the sword possesses - such as causing the missing fragment to fade into view before Rinku has chosen to wield it.
> Hallowed - The blade causes great pain to wrack through those that would wield it against the innocent, and the force of its blows are amplified when wielded against those that could not safely wield it (+1 strength, +2 material modifier).
^ I'd count this as a single minor. Hallowed could be worded a bit better, I admit. Anyway, would something along these lines work?
-------------------
Adding after more discussion:
"Sotetvaros" is the old, sealed enemy. I'd imagine he was an older Unihakka, and the banishing happened before the fall of Din. That'd mean he was sealed in the fey realm, which works out.
