History
The Sword of Eden was created by Those Who Came Before centuries before the birth of Jesus Christ.
The first usage of the sword by someone other than one of Those Who Came Before was by Perseus, a "demigod" (the child of a god and a mortal), who was given the Sword by his father Zeus to help him slay the Gorgon Medusa.
The Sword came into possession of Attila the Hun during the 5th century, after a shepherd dug it up and took it to Attila.
In the late 5th, early 6th century, Arthur pulled the Sword, then called Excalibur, out of a stone (alternatively, it is also said that it was a gift from the Lady of the Lake) and used it to become King of England.
Possibly in the late 6th century, Odin, disguised as a beggar, plunged the Sword into a tree called Barnstokkr, claiming that the one who was able to pull it free would receive it as a gift. Only Sigmund was able to pull it free.
In the early 13th century, Genghis Khan obtained the Sword, which helped him to unite most of northeast Asia and become ruler of the Mongol Empire.
The female warrior Jeanne d'Arc came into the Sword's possession during the Hundred Years' War, which led to many victories for the French forces over the English and their allies. She was eventually captured by Burgundian soldiers and handed over to the English, who burned her at the stake for committing heresy. The Sword then came into possession of the Knights Templar.
