<br />Stolen from the abyssal who orchestrated Thelaos's downfall.  The slender Daiklave is as beautiful as the rising sun, and as awe-inspiring as those Exalted who share the morning's name. The blade is forged from enchanted glass, suffused with random arcs of sunlight, and edged in orichalcum. Orichalcum filigree also dances upon the blade and in the light of the morning this filigree forms the sword's name in Old Realm upon it.

<br />When struck by this weapon, Thelaos's opponents are delivered a fraction of the might of the Unconquered Son.  Each hit causes a cumulative -1 internal penalty on all actions, up to a maximum of -4.  This manifests as physical weakness or trembling from the sheer force of the weapon's power.  The effect lasts until the end of the scene.

<br />His ghost lingered.  His descendants and his entire kingdom had been branded with his stigma, and his legacy in the end was only arrogance and death.  He was not worshipped like his own anscestors had been - he was seen as a demon and a black mark on his family's history.  His family and his people mostly recovered from the damage he had done within a few generations, but no one ever truly forgot.

<br />On the day that he exalted, Thelaos was treating the sick of small town miles from the edges of the shadowlands when it was assaulted by a small army of mercenaries.  Thelaos emerged into the street to find the town being burned to the ground and its people killed.  He took a sword from a fallen mercenary and joined the fight, exalting and driving off the force that had attacked the town.  Their fatally wounded leader told Thelaos that they'd been hired by a man in the shadowlands, so once Thelaos had tended the wounded he left directly for his old home.  He met little resistance on his way and found the deathknight, complacent, waiting in the keep that had once been his own seat of power.  The moonshadow was not a great warrior, and had not planned for a solar to exalt at the border of his domain.  When he saw what he believed was a mortal trespassing in his home and possibly even coming for revenge, he did not expect to face one of the swords of heaven.  Not only was the abyssal forced to flee for his life, but he lost an artifact given to him by his master - the daiklave First Blade of the Rising Sun.

Thelaos is slow to anger and very humble.  He had his fill of conquest and lordship as a mortal, and makes every effort to resist the same hubris that led to his downfall and deaths of so many innocents in the past - especially now that he wields the power of the Unconquered Son.

<br />The solar's enemies are broken like water against the rocks.  The exalt invokes this charm after using his Parry DV to defend against a melee or martial arts attack.  It blocks with such power that his opponent is forced back ([Strength + Melee] x 4) yards.  The attacker is also knocked down unless he succeeds at a ([Dexterity or Stamina] + [Athletics or Resistance]) roll at a difficulty equal to the exalt's Essence.  This charm is treated as an unblockable, undodgeable counterattack which deals no damage, though damage taken by being knocked over the edge of a cliff or into an erupting volcano or pool of sharks with lasers on their heads may still apply.

<br />'''Keywords:''' Combo-OK
 
<br />'''Duration:''' Instant
 
<br />'''Prerequisite Charms:''' None
 
<br />The Exalt invokes this Charm in response to an unexpected attack.  The attack is no longer unexpected.  This allows the character to use his Parry DV and Charms such as Heavenly Guardian Defense against the attack.  The character must either have a weapon already drawn or have this Charm in a Combo with Charms such as Call the Blade or Summoning the Loyal Steel.
