 * Name: pheonix herbam filium
 * Wielder: none (current) The Knight of the Sun (original)
 * Maker/Smith: Unknown
 * Type:
 * Weapon Derivation: flamberge
 * Design: the hilt is gold with a snake skin wrapping on the grip. it has a wing shaped guard, and the pommel is shaped like an avian claw, wrapped around a spherical dust crystal.
