"The history of Eminence begins a long time before the present day, in the height of the Anathema rule during the First Age. It was forged then, at the behest of the Demon Princess Tamiko, by her circlemate One Thousand Perfected Blossoms, for the Demon Princess's war on the Kingdom of Nantara. Nantara was at that time governed by one of the Unclean, who had, as Anathema are wont to do, betrayed his demonic peers and began to bolster his armies with the lesser demons of Malfeas. The blade itself was forged from the first light of dawn on Calibation, inset with the cursed gold known as Orichalcum to be a powerful weapon against all that the Unclean might summon.

Eminence is in appearance a Reaver Daiklaive. Its blade is a little over 4ft in length, the thickness varying from 8" near the hilt, before a graceful curve of orichalcum guides the dawnlight out to the thickest part of the blade, around 10" across, the curve continuing, guiding the light to a sharp point at the end. The blade itself is most visible when its native dawn light falls on it, fading almost to invisibilty in the twilight that ends the day, its faint glow at night somehow no more visible than the shimmer in the noonday sun. The orichalcum on the blade, as well as guiding the edges, is twisted into sigils of warding against unclean threats. The hilt is of a simple design, trimmed with orichalcum, a single hearthstone socket on the pommel.

Dawn's Glory - The blade edge glows with white heat, inflicting horrific wounds on those it cuts. Eminence counts 10s as 2 damage successes

Dawn's Fury - The when Eminence is used against unclean foes, sigils on the blade start to glow with a crimson light, imbuing the blade with a terrible fury. Eminence does double damage to Unclean foes.

Dawn's Wrath - As Eminence strikes down an Unclean foe, the darkness is extinguished in a catastrophic explosion of the light, inflicting the weilders Essence as dice of Agg damage on all Unclean foes within 10 yards.

Dawn's Light - The light falling from Eminence shinies brightly, so bright that all unclean foes within 10 yards are ringed with a corona of light, visible even when they are dematerialised or possessing someone.

Eminence costs 6m to attune to and has a single Hearthstone Socket.
