First appearance: S2E6 — FoTA - Sands of the Arena (Fate of the Arbiter, Part 2) · watch it on YouTube
Lyrus’s Void Swords are the blades Lyrus carried through the Fate of the Arbiter saga. Their story is short and grim. They are tied to a set of severed hands that shriveled to nothing, and by the time the party reached the Hall of Fates, one of the swords had lost its edge.
Description
The weapons are a set of more than one sword, named for their owner and for the Void, the strange space outside time and space where the Deathmatches are fought. What powers, if any, the name implies has never been spelled out. They are remembered more for what happened around them than for any trick they performed.
History
The swords first come up in S2E6 — FoTA - Sands of the Arena (Fate of the Arbiter, Part 2). There they are tied to an unpleasant prize: hands severed from The Arbiter, which shriveled away. The trophy was not quite what it seemed. The hands belonged to a visage of the Arbiter, not the Arbiter himself, so the party’s victory was emptier than it looked.
The blades appear again in S2E17 — Fate of the Arbiter - The Hall of Fates — Toddleheim, Locket and Flynry reach the Grandmaster. In that episode, Toddleheim, Locket and Flynry finally made their way to the Grandmaster. By then one of the swords had been dulled.
