Lore:Penitent
The Penitent, the Blade of Courage (also named Vosh Rakh in Orcish), is the legendary blade of Trinimac used in ancient times.[1] Statues depicting Trinimac often show him holding his sword, and worshipers of the god swear by it for aid.[2] Priests of Trinimac consider themselves blessed by the holy sword Penitent, and that his blessing is his sword and shield being at one's side to protect them.[3] The Vosh Rakh, an Orcish extremist faction, named themselves after the blade's Orcish name as they considered themselves a manifestation of it to "cut a path through stifling traditions",[1] with some members bearing the rank "penitent".[4] The name of the sword is often used as a possessive adjective in regards to worship of Trinimac.[5]
Malacath also wields a sword,[6][7] which he is also seen wielding in depictions in statuary, but it is unknown if there is any connection.[8]
Notes[edit]
- Second Era Orcish statues depicted Trinimac wielding a one-handed Trinimac Style sword.
