The sword is very closely tied to the office or rank of Pendragon, with "taking up the sword" to describe the act of becoming Pendragon. A Pendragon's time in service is defined by time in which it "carried the sword".

			Several Pendragons have described the magic of the sword as commanding them, more than they controlling it. A Pendragon may only draw the sword with total purpose of being, with intent to use it. In many [[Honorarium]]s, Pendragons have made illusions to what they call 'the blood rust', a condition which afflicts them when the sword is drawn and ''not'' used. It causes pain, insomnia, and restlessness, and can only be relieved by putting the sword to use. In a situation where no reasonable target is available, the sword must be turned upon themselves. It has also been said, however, that the greatest Pendragons were able to conquer the blood rust.

			In the [[New Day]], a replacement was made, entitled 'Consecution': held to be the identical sword of the Pendragon, until found to be otherwise by [[Scarlet Jusenkyou]].

			This is further complicated in peripheral books like ''[[Going South]]'', wherein the sword is called the 'Consecution' throughout.

	The ~~official~~ sword of the ~~Pendragon of~~ [[~~Slayer Dragons~~]] ~~is called Echbalder~~. ~~It is both his main~~ weapon ~~and a badge of rank.~~		The Pendragon carries as his insignia of rank a enchanted sword(the only weapon passed from one generation to the next among the Slayer Dragons). The weapon was created during the [[Mage Wars#The Second Chaotic Period\|Second Chaotic Period]] of the [[Mage Wars]]. While a powerful weapon in it's own right, the sword, called Echbalder, was desgned for a singular purpose: to retrieve the powerful relic sword [[Echbaldham, the Sword of Righteousness\|Echbaldham]], a weapon of great power from the [[Mystical Age\|Age of Myth]]. The mages who originally created the sword intended that the wielder of Echbalder, if he were worthy, could open a portal and wield Echbaldham.

	~~According to ancient traditions~~, ~~a powerful magical~~ sword called Echbalder was ~~given~~ to [[~~King Arthur]] in~~ the ~~[[Mythical Age~~]], ~~to help him found~~ the [[~~Empire~~ of ~~Roads~~]]. ~~This is not~~ the sword ~~wielded by~~ the ~~Pendragon: '~~Echbalder~~' refers to the original sword and 'Sword Echbalder' to the gateway sword.

	Gudersnipe's analysis indicated that the sword was made with a degree of craftsmanship not previously believed possible using Atayan tools and techniques. This stired up a great deal of controversy until a group of [[Craftsmen]] came forward (many of Atayan descent and still practicing Atayan techniques) and made an almost perfect replica of the sword, in front of Gudersnipe's documentary film crew. The replica did not have the original's magical properties but was of equal quality and made entirely by tools and techniques available in B.G.A. 74.
