Shenti-Zeal is one of the three(apparently four) legendary swords from the Mythical Age, the others being Excalibur and Iall.

History

According to Legend, Shenti would have been one of the swords given to the Hero of Light's lieutenants. The legends are vague on the exact number, though its generally assumed he had either two or three. Each sword had incredible power, and Shenti's was described as being able to protect anything. Aside from mentioned in the Book of Lore, no record of the sword has been found in Antiquity.

In fact, no account has yet been found anywhere of the actual sword, all throughout history. Its exitense was known from the book, but like Excalibur, its location was lost since the events of the end of the Mythical Age and the dawn of Greater Antiquity.

Discovery

In the 905 year of the Sixth Age, a Dark Lord appeared seemingly out of nowhere and begun to wreck havoc on Kai Chi. Desperate for powerful weapons to aid them in defeating it, Lina Rowen and Hokori traveled by GATE to Arden Song, the capitol of an inter-stellar monarchy famous for it's collection of rare and valuable artifacts from the Mage Wars.

The queen of Arden Song refused to lend them any of the kingdom's priceless treasures, but Lina and Hokori were still allowed to tour the Arsenal vaults. While exploring the museum outside the vaults, Lina spotted something sitting in a dusty display case in a disused corner of the facility. The card on the case claimed that it was a ceremonial letter-opener dating to the reign of Queen Sophia I, roughly five hundred years earlier. However, Lina noticed that it was, in fact, a sword, and more importantly that it had a name written on the hilt in Ancient

Lina then promptly smashed open the display case, snatched the sword, hid it under her cloak, then went and found Hokori and insist that they leave before anyone noticed her theft. The sword proved to be Shenti-Zeal, and a thousand-fold more powerful than anything in Arden Song's famed Arsenel.
