The Sword of Shannara is a legendary weapon with a wondrous history. It was forged by Urprox Screl, the finest smith in all the Southland, with aid from an Old World formula provided by the outcast Cogline and the magic of the Druid Bremen. The Eilt Druin medallion was forged into the hilt, and the truth of Druids past is infused within its blade. The Sword has the power to reveal the truth about anything, from a person to a magical force, the Sword has been interesting in the series as the only magic weapon which does not seem to be more addictive as the bearer uses it, this is probably due to the fact that the Sword shows only absolute truth and is useless when facing creatures such as Demons that are not lies. Bremen made the mistake of giving the sword to the Elven King, Jerle Shannara
