Proposed Canon

Parson received a sword in three consecutive Stupid Meals starting on his third day in Gobwin Knob. He received the hilt first^Erf-b1-p077a, the forte (blade near the hilt) second^Erf-b1-p086, and the foible (blade away from the hilt) last^Erf-b1-p108.

The sword is described as conveying Leadership, Combat, and Ruthlessness.^Erf-b1-p108

Speculation

It is not known how real or magical the powers of the weapon are. It certainly acts as a killing weapon^Erf-b1-p133, but it gives no overt signs of exceptional magical auras or ability. Parson's eyes glow red^Erf-b1-p108 upon first receiving the completed blade, but what that actually means is left to the reader.
