Myr's Sword (Surraruthru)

[Anastasia]

"Interesting," Sage Vul'lath murmurs, "Do you know anything else useful?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I know it acted sort of like the Sword of the Moon. It appears, falls into the hands of the intended wielder, who does whatever it is they needed to, and then disappears again, usually after their death. It shows up on its own. It was originally used by a prophesied savior against daemons, and deals in revealing truths and banishing illusions and darkness. It was lost in Hades, when the savior supposedly succeeded, but they never returned."

[Anastasia]

The old gith goes over to a chair and sits, resting his head on his hand as he considers. "My instincts say that something is chasing it, probably a daemon. Some sort of ritual or avoidance we don't know enough to understand fully. It would explain the reasoning behind its appearances and the deaths. It's not looking to help people, it's looking for someone to save it."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm.. Interesting. Our forces are certainly able to... We just have to attract its attention, then. How does one go about contacting a sword like this, then?"

[Anastasia]

With a chuckle as dry as Dust, Sage Vul'lath spreads his hands out. "If it comes to people who need it, become someone who needs it."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Mmmm... So dive face first into a wall of fiends or daemons. Could you divine a place to do so? 'The best place to have the Sword of Myr come to me' type of place?"

[Anastasia]

"Choose a Hell, any Hell. Preferably Gehenna or Hades and go to a concentration of fiends. Make trouble." Sage Vul'lath eyes him, "Prepare your last will and testament in case you're wrong or you aren't strong enough. Very well though, I'll divine as best I can."

[Iron Dragoon]

"But... We just got back from Gehenna and it didn't show up. Hades then?"

[Anastasia]

"Also, if it appeared every time the daemons threaened someone," Sage Vul'lath smooths his robes, "It would be forever visible. Likely the blade's attributes matter as well."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Attributes? I haven't found much information on that."

[Anastasia]

"It deals in revealing truth and overcoming illusions, so something about that," Sage Vul'lath points out, "Yet it also hides itself. An interesting contradiction."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm... So a fiend or daemon in Gehenna or Hades that specializes in lies and illusions..."

K:P check for such a creature?

[Anastasia]

Sure, go for it.

Well, the 'loths in general like trickery, lies and illusions. It's bread and butter to them, so narrowing it down is hard. Of the most notable daemons, it likely rules out the new Oinoloth. The Adversary is too new in his position plus he rules over disease as his primary focus. The General of Gehenna is always a contender for this level of plot, but he's reclusive and virtually impossible to pin anything on him. It's said he uses so may layers of deceptions and pawns that no one ever knows what plots are his.

The simple problem is that most of the greater 'loths are shrouded in great secrecy. Aurora doesn't have that much on them, you conclude you need to find a better source of yugoloth specific information.
