Soulbound Blades

Soulbound Blades

A sword shouldn’t just be a string of damage numbers.

Soulbound Blades adds 20 swords that remember their master: 9 base swords, 9 enhanced swords awakened through trials, 1 Nine Oaths forged from the shared oath of the nine swords, and its endgame form — the Oath Without End.

Each sword’s final chapter hides a riddle: bow to the sword as snow falls on the snowy plains, stand on an open high place on a thunderstorm night, fall from twenty blocks in the air with the sword, bid farewell to fifteen of the dead in the long night… Understand the riddle, and the sword transforms in your hands into another form: fragments burst apart, spiral around you, and reforge into a new blade.
