History

_{King Leon Polaris brought the destruction of the city state of Lau, setting the precedent for the many places that would come under Polaris rule.}

Held by the first king of the Polaris Kingdom, King Molan, during his conquest of the Anniy River Valley. On his deathbed, Molan Polaris gifted the sword to his first son and heir to the throne, Momo Polaris. After this and during the entire existence of the Polaris Kingdom the sword was always given to the first born child, who was also heir to the throne, whether that be male or female.

After the invasion and conquest of the Rhosaya Republic by Queen Riana Polaris, or Riana the Vengeful, and the killing of more than a million Rheyans, many people's views on the Polaris family soured even more then they had over the last few centuries. So after the treaty of Krisie and the unification of the Dayarin Empire and Polaris Kingdom into the Kingdom of Atla, King Leon Polaris V finally retired the Sword of Atla, believing that peace had finally been achieved with his marriage to Clophea Immie. He handed the Sword of Atla over to the Rhosaya district as a gift, marking the true end to Polaris conquest. The sword now sits guarded by over a hundred of Rhosaya's best soldiers within the Temple of Rhos within the historic city of Hana, one of the harshest cities hit by Riana's conquest.

Folklore

_{Atla Plateau region in the modern day Anniy District.}

Nothing more than a few Forebearers that lived on the Atlan plateau, Lily gifted one of her children, Molan Polaris, a sword with immense power. Said in scripture to have been a gift from Poppy to Lily as a means to manipulate her. Carved from the purest Lilite within the Plain of the Stars and enchanted with some of Poppy's magic, which is what gives it it's blue hue instead of pink, this sword did nothing more than serve as an accent piece for Lily until she handed it over to Molan. Due to the strange meld of powers within the sword Molan's own power was increased, purifying the ground he walked on into pure Lilite and the air he breathed as well. Within this new increased power Molan created the Polaris Castle. Created entirely out of Lilite, Lily Forebearers flocked to this beacon of power, building the city of Almne around it.

Queen Clophea Immie-Polaris

After marrying King Leon Polaris V, Clophea dawned the Sword of Atla several times. This gave her the abilities of the Polaris Blush and it is said this is why the Polaris Blush is still strong within the royal family even after so many generations of outbreeding, when the Blush should have died out.
