Vlad Tepes' Sword

Vlad Tepes' Sword was the personal sword of the Wallachian prince Vlad Tepes. The sword was buried with him in his tomb after his death in 1476, though the Italian Assassins' Mentor Ezio Auditore later looted it in 1511 and claimed the weapon for himself.^[1]

Description
Ezio recovered this sword from the tomb of Vlad "the Impaler" Țepeș. Styled after a kilij, the sword features a curved, forward-weighted blade designed for powerful slicing and hacking. Its brutal design echoes the fearsome reputation of its original owner.

The mission which allows Ezio to obtain this weapon, "The Impaler's Tomb", could only be unlocked through pre-ordering certain Collector's Editions of Assassin's Creed: Revelations or by purchasing the downloadable expansion The Lost Archive.
Vlad Tepes' Sword possesses unique killing moves, similar to the Dagger of Brutus in Brotherhood.
The sword's design and structure is that of a kilij, with the front edge of the blade being weighted for optimal slicing and hacking power.
The Animi Avatar, the Count, does not use this weapon despite being based off of Vlad Tepes.
When Ezio wields Vlad Tepes' Sword, enemy morale is reduced by 15 percent, much like the Dagger of Brutus in Brotherhood affected the guards.
