Astomir, the Blade That Cut the Stars

Joined with the creation spark of Imara, Astomir is the relic of Terenor and the emblem of the Iron King.

Astomir was first used as a mere shard of raw iron to carve apart the soul of Ellastrophel by Nimagos for his human children. It was then used, first by the Sisters of Eternity and later by Rhuel, to carve the epitaph for the The Tomb of Stars.

It was later claimed by the great grandson of Rhuel, Siriun the Smith King, as an emblem of his lineage, thereby becoming intrinsically tied to the fate of the Ferelian People.

In the year 1014 BC, Astomir was shattered into seven pieces when it was used to kill a Champion of the Stone Chair by another Champion. When the survivors of the fallout realized that the sword could not be repaired, they separated the shards between the Houses for safe keeping and as a reminder of the price of division.

Whilst separated, the individual shards of Astomir became known by new names according to the House that held it:

Upon being reforged during the Crafting, the sword became known more dominantly by the name given to it by the First House, Basideros.

Basideros can take the form of either a longsword or a ring.
