Sangria, Blessed Blade of the Glory-Seeker is the legendary claymore of the God Emperor Allest of [[Unionist]] Faith, renowned for its glory and use at the hands of a legendary combatant. Initially forged by his direction, Sangria saw nearly only victory in the hands of Allest, until his demise. The blade was taken from Allest's corpse, and paraded as a trophy, until it was stolen for its value. The blade passed many hands before it reached the Regalian Archipelago again, brought to Vultaro by a staunch Unionist. From there, the blade was taken on a Pilgrimage to the Holy City. Sangria is a legendary artifact amongst Unionists, especially those who dedicate themselves to Allest, believing that the blade enacts his will in the modern day.

==Origins==
==Lore==
Sangria's origins are somewhat well-recorded, as its first appearance in history was in the hands of the God Emperor Allest, who was said to have it forged to unique and (at the time) strange specifications. During Allest's life, it was nearly synonymous with him, and predominantly found use in the subjugation of [[Nordskag]] by the God Emperor. After the God Emperor's death, the sword passed along many armies and collectors, some who wished to quickly discard of it as they found, in their hands, it did not live up to the legends of Allest's might.

* Sangria grants the wielder Magical armor, meaning they always count as in armor, even if they are not physically wearing any armor. For Combat Roleplay, this counts the same as Mundane Armor.
* Sangria grants the wielder +1 Main Combat Stat (which can break Cap up to 11) while fighting Fornoss followers, as well as Argentum Knights, even if they are disguised (does not count as revealing them).

Greater entities such as deities however can damage Artifacts. Additionally, the user is also immune to any Abilities or Mechanics that would disarm them.
* '''Artifact Housebound:''' Artifacts have special rules applied to them when a Noble Family has possession of the Artifact. Their Noble Estate becomes a valid Raid-target pursuant the same rules applying to the Fae Sepulchre, and a Raid can be initiated against their estate with the intention of stealing the Artifact. Servants owning Artifacts counts as family ownership.
* '''Sangria's Reputation:''' Sangria is one of the most holy weapons among Unionists. Anyone who is the wielder of Sangria unlocks more favorable responses and potential responses that would not normally be available from Dogmatic Unionist people (not Evintarian, Vultragon, or Emended) across the Regalian Empire.
* '''Sangria's Trueheart:''' Sangria empowers the wielder, but only true Unionists. While the weapon and its normal Abilities can still be used by non-believers, only those who worship the Everwatcher, any Unionist schisms, will receive +2 Strength that can break the 7 Proficiency Point Limit, but does not grant additional Point Buy.
