Found in the tomb of the primordial giant referred to as The One-Eyed Tyrant, this 12 meters long stone sword is too big even for a regular Giants. From what the archeologist can gather, the sword was made by the primordial giant himself as his regalia. According to the relief on the tomb’s wall, The One-Eyed Tyrant carves out an entire mountain range and condensed it into a singular slab of stone which then he shapes into this sword. On the sword, the team found writings and some kind of diagrams that they suspect to be a map of the tyrant’s kingdom or secret chambers buried deep underground.

------------------

Honestly this one is both hard and weird. At first I was gonna do a single stone tablet + sword with relief. But then I saw a picture of earth crust and mountain, which reminds me of The One-Eyed Tyrant I wrote for the King's Gaze item, and voila, this idea come into my mind.

Instead of the usual detailed lineart or complex design, this one is much simpler but test my painting skill more than usual.

UPDATE:

I had a bit of a problem coming up with this one, but since this is the actual sword used by the One-Eyed-Tyrant, I decided to just go overpowered with this sword. I was very much influenced by the Fate series here, so I made some kind of 'Noble Phantasm' or the ultimate ability for this sword that comes at a great cost. Perhaps something that the owner didn't know but then gets revealed as a vision when they're in a dire situation. (And, of course, since I was influenced by Fate... I make some kind of incantation that you have to say when you want to activate it XD)
