The Blade

The Sword is an Elder God artefact created to better shape the other creations of the Elder Gods. It played an incredibly large role in the history of Guthix and Gielinor, it was what turned Guthix into a god and what made him discover Gielinor along with many other realms and dimensions.

The sword was, from what we know, initially in Skargaroth's control since the Elder Gods stopped using it. Skargaroth was a non-benevolent god of the Naragi plane who participated in the God Wars of that realm. Skargaroth used it on a fight against Tuska, a boar-like goddess and managed to blind one of her eyes with it. In tension, Tuska carried Skargaroth with her tusks with so much fierce that made him drop his sword and stumble upon the storm cellar that Guthix hid his only daughter in, Aagi. Aagi died and Guthix was enraged so much that he took the Skargaroth's sword from the ground and blinded Tuska completely. After that, he took the sword and impaled it deep in Skargaroth's back, killing him and unintentionally stealing his powers and knowledge, becoming a god. Guthix then discovered that with cuts from the sword, he could open gateways to various dimensions and planes. He then started travelling through dimensions until he found Zanaris, the moon of Gielinor. He could see Gielinor from it, which looked luxurious and exuberant. He visited it and was overwhelmed by its beauty. Eager, he travelled all over the world and found many other elder artefacts, including the Stone of Jas, the Horn and the Staff. The artefacts he found were the ones that gave him the power he was known to have. With that power, he managed to banish the gods and create his Edicts. The sword, as mentioned, has special abilities. It is naturally electrifying, it can slay gods, it can locate the Crown and can open gateways with simple cuts in the air. It is currently broken on a table in Guthix' chamber complex. According to Mod Osborne, an Elder God could repair it.
