It has been alleged that the sabre Resolution can be traced back to an ancient line of warriors predating the formation of the Aedyr Empire, though the legitimacy of the claim has always been in dispute. What is known is that the sabre has been passed down through generations of Yenwood erls, having accompanied them across the sea during the colonization of the Dyrwood. The sabre was held as a symbol of their noble lineage, and most formal portraits of the family include the blade in some respect.
It was the youngest of the line who endeavored to repair the weapon so that it might serve more than ornamental purpose. The blade was reforged into a weapon that struck hard and true, and the young erl wielded it during his efforts to reclaim the keep of Caed Nua, traditional stronghold of the Erl of Yenwood. Both sword and bearer were lost, never to be seen again.
Several missions were undertaken to retrieve the weapon when the War of Defiance arose, but none met with any success.

In a monastery overlooking Coldflow Lake from the foothills of the White March, there once resided a clandestine order of monks known as the Thousand Dreams. Through a powerful form of pain-induced meditation, these monks were able to walk through their past lives as though they were dreams. Each traversed these memories in ultimate hopes of achieving complete understanding of his or her soul’s identity. They believed that after experiencing one thousand lifetimes, total enlightenment could be attained.
Greatest of their sect was Rî Golan, who had an ancient soul and was said to have walked more lifetimes than any other. But when she came to the end of all her lifetimes and found there was no more to experience, it became clear that she would never come to know herself completely, for there was simply not enough to learn from.
Unable to accept this fate after her endless trials, Rî Golan sought a way to take the experiences of others for her own, that she might reach one thousand lifetimes yet. She channeled her unquenchable hunger into her favorite sword, and it became an instrument of her will. With it, she claimed many lives in the surrounding area. Each drop of blood on her blade was a new experience, each killing blow a new lifetime for her to claim.
When the rest of the Thousand Dreams came to learn of her actions, they banded together and confronted Rî Golan upon her return to the temple. In the end, amid a courtyard of slain monks, she did indeed come to understand her soul, and it is said that among the many experiences contained in the blade are all those of Rî Golan herself.
The blade itself is a simple sabre with a worn leather grip and an inset ebony hilt. The sword becomes hot to the touch when its wielder’s foes are vanquished.

This sabre has posed a mystery to historians and weaponsmiths for two centuries. It was recovered from an Engwithan ruin, but almost all experts agree that it is far younger than any of the artifacts left by that ancient civilization. Yet no one has been able to explain the runes on the blade, which are unmistakably Engwithan. The one fact on which all have agreed is that it is a formidable, if poorly-understood, weapon.
