Blade of Syn
History
Syn herself, created this "blade" by condensing a Super Cluster of Neutron Stars into a single pane of reality, causing an entire series of galaxies to go dark, now devoid of light and life. For she needed the sacrifice to create a weapon capable of threatening a new foe birthed into their world. Syn created this blade for one purpose and one purpose only, to eradicate The Shadows. The weapon was divine fury in her hands as she changed from a goddess of light and life into one of war. A concept unfamiliar to The Quartet, though entirely needed at the time.
In her hands, with her power, her sword was feared. The judgment of a god given with a swing and just a slight thud. As the war progressed, as the Quartet was pushed back from homeworld to homeworld. As each Child became infected, as each Child fell and became one of the enemy, that sword burned hotter and brighter with her fury at her inability to stop this onslaught on her universe. It was said that the sword burned even her near the end. A fury unspent, listless and omnipotent. To burn a goddess of light, heat and fire...
Syn knew the War would end in only a few scenarios, very few had even a pessimistic outcome for her children and her siblings children. Her own son Anlyth became a fledgling god of death to combat the horrors of the Shadows. Eventually, the blade found it's way into the hands of Shadow: Lust. Syn's ever-present admirer, though entirely unwanted. Briefly it was held in her hands, and nearly killed her as it tired to consume her.
Though, during this event where Anlyth Ascended, he was able to take the sword away from Azu: The Raven. Though, in hindsight he would regret doing so, for the weapon would have destroyed the Shadow given enough time. To this day, he holds the weapon with a melancholic reverence, for it is the last thing he has left of his mother.
Significance
To say this was one of the few things The Shadows feared, would be to call a hurricane a light gust of wind. The Shadows feared four things the Quartet had created, fore they feared not the Children or the Fledgling gods. The Voice of The Great Mother, The Patience of Kyln, and the Scales of Alnya. But the thing they feared the most, for it was was the antithesis of their very existence, was Syn's Blade. It was the only thing besides the Voice of the Great Mother that could cause them permanent harm. They had "died" many times at the hands of the Quartet during this War, but only her blade was the thing capable of damaging them across realities.

Gotta say I like the way you name things: Simple names that carry their significance with them.

Names don't need to be complicated. Could I have named it something grander like The Glorious Blade of the Sunlit Goddess? Sure. But, that sounds like I'm trying too hard. A name is a name, the association attached to it is the point of language. One word that carries a meaning, a name that has a whole history behind it. My philosophy about names is keep it simple, let the explanation carry it from there.
