Consul's Gladii

Appearance and Lore
The Consul's Gladii (plural of gladius) are a pair of Identical Swords forged by the Artificer Makkis Pekkis. They were of great symbolic importance to the First Atoan Republic, are were to be handed down to whichever two individuals held the rank of Consul.

The Blade and Tang of the swords were made from Steel, enchanted to have a slight green sheen to them, which turned into green flames that would engulf the whole sword on command. Their Guards and Pommels were made from emeralds found in the Mountain on which Atopolis was founded. Their hilts were wrapped in sheep leather, a livestock that was essential in the early days of Atopolis.

The Blades were engraved with Elvish Runes, commanding the wielder to do right by their people, and to uphold the values of the Republic.

Time during the GSF
In the days of the GSF. the Consul's gladii were much less important, but both swords still saw some use due to them just being generally good swords. Makkis continued to carry his on him at all times, and Shark Greatwhite began carrying his after his Netherite Rapier, Shark's Tooth, was lost in the siege of Montoig, as GSF forces pulled out following the complete destruction of the Loyalist formations.

During the standoff with the 2nd Leverosi Empire, both former Consuls vowed to die with their Gladii in hand, rather than bow to Elzaress. Ultimately, they ended up bowing to Frostmarch instead.

Existance in Modern Day Frostmarch
One of the swords is currently in the posession of a former Consul of the Republic. One is owned by Jarl Makkis of Historic Ato, and is to be given to his daughter Fin, when she comes of Age. The other, is in the possession of Zach Castellan. These two individuals hold the Title of Consul of the Jarldom of United Ato.
