The Legends
Godly knights that each family had that served as royal protectors
One of the most standout things about this group is that they wielded godly swords that were gift from Ao, the god of gods himself. For remaining loyal to the gods and following them when they presented themselves to the world, Ao gifted five of these swords to each family to give to their most powerful knight. These knights have served as one of the main connections to each family as well as their connection to the gods.
Unfortunately, in the great disaster all of the swords were destroyed and the knights were killed, meaning each family didn't have any firsthand connection to the gods given that Clerics and Priest didn't really have any either.
However, one of the swords wasn't completely destroyed. By some miracle, this legend wasn't in the room where the explosion happened so while his body was destroyed, the sword simply broken into pieces like the others did, but didn't evaporate in the explosion. Instead, they were sent flying in multiple indiscernible locations that presumably have been picked up by someone or something.
Where these fragments are, nobody knows for sure.
