Orbyn (the Edge of Justice) was a longsword crafted for Duar Obarskyr by Amedahast, and one of the Cormyrean Swords of State.[1][2] It had a soft glow, similar in intensity to the full moon,[3] and was covered in faint runes that, to the wielder, seem to move.[2]
Orbyn was also known as Orblyn. [4] The alternative pronounciation originated from a speech impediment of a former king of Cormyr. [2]
The sword was used to slay both the dragon Thauglorimorgorus and Magrath the Minotaur.[2]
As of 1479 DR the sword resided in the Shrine of the Four Swords in Cormyr's Royal Court,[4] and was used both as a means of swearing oaths in the Royal Court and as a weapon to execute nobility found to be guilty of capital crimes.[2]
