Kor Sanbe berTase

Kor Sanbe berTase (Athain 2 - Sora 27) is a famous bladesmith who was appointed Emperor's Swordsmith during Lein Sora's reign. Through the course of his long career under the Emperor, who appointed him on Sora 5, he forged many swords both for the Emperor and his family, as well as for other generals and famous personalities with the Emperor's approval.

Famous Works

Working for none other than the supreme authority of the Lein Empire, many of Sanbe's works have naturally become very famous due to their associations with the greatest men of Sora's time. These are some of his most famous swords.

Navarseba

Navarseba, which could be translated to "Pallor of Heaven" or "Light of Heaven", is a long sword forged in Sora 6 for the Emperor himself. A classic Ezrike sword, with a sinusoidal inner edge and a firm, slight curve for the outer edge, it was famous for the sharp final taper from the sinusoidal edge to the tip, as well as the almost angular re-narrowing, creating a sword that was highly distinctive while retaining its deadly effectiveness. Its blade was around 73 cm long, while the whole sword was around 100 cm long.

As with most such swords made for prominent personalities, the sword is engraved with words. In this case the inscription reads, "Kor Sanbe, swordsmith, forges this sword for He (who is) Always Victorious" (Itrani: Sberetaro Kor Sanbe sbaro ezrike nite Kasagaimi Nikaile Hiruva). This refers to the primary title of the Emperors of the Lein, Nikaile Hiruv' ase Varya Hiruva (Always Victorious and Virtuous).

Ganudarai

Ganudarai, which can be translated as "Darkness of Earth", is another long cavalry sword ordered by Sora and completed in Sora 6. Being presented with the Navarseba at the same time, it is often considered a paired sword with the Emperor's sword; however, its design is very different, and Sanbe had instead intended the sword Rikisei as the partner of the Navarseba.
