Harpē was the sword belonging to the Grecian knight, Sir Palamedes during the Medieval Era when he wielded it as a Knight of the Round Table under King Arthur. It saw service against the drow of Caledonia and against the Dread Masters of the Sith Empire. It was a legendary blade that he brought from Greece with him on his quests into space. It was originally used by Cronos to slay his father Uranus and later by Perseus to kill Medusa.
Description
Appearance
It's a Spartan hoplite sword from ancient times, it's hilt curved at the very end to give the hilt a comfortable hand grip. There is no guard, but it's unnecessary thanks to the groove in the hilt. The blade itself is exceptionally thin, able to slice very cleanly - however its fragility means it wouldn't be overly effective against heavily armoured knights[Pan 1].
History
Pre-Space Camelot
The sword was said to have once been used by Cronos to slay Uranus and later by Perseus to slay Medusa[Leg 1].
Space Camelot
Main article: Pan Post 118
Sir Palamedes brought Harpē with him into space as a member of Space Britain and the Knights of the Round Table. The sword was used in action against the drow upon Llurth Caridwen on Caledonia. The drow were lightly armoured, making Harpē the perfect weapon against them[Pan 1]. The sword was then used in battle against the Sith Empire on the planet Orinoco Flow and the Dread Masters[Leg 1].
Notes
Britt's Commentary
"Harpē is based on the legendary weapon Harpē[Ext 1] from Greek mythology[Ext 2] where it was used by Cronus[Ext 3] against his father, Uranus[Ext 4]." ~ Britt the Writer
