Item from Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
The Sword of Truth — an ancient blade that compels honesty from its wielder, carried by Chaol and passed through Adarlan's founding line from the hero Gavin.
Damaris doesn't burn or glow — it just makes you honest, which in the world of thrones and assassins is far more dangerous than any flame. The sword was Gavin's, the first king of Adarlan who fought alongside Elena against Erawan, and its magic reflects his commitment to truth in governance. Chaol carries it as a symbol of what Adarlan's monarchy was supposed to be — just, truthful, and accountable. The sword doesn't make its wielder better; it just makes pretending harder.
An ancient, well-maintained sword with simple, elegant craftsmanship. Less flashy than Goldryn — no fire, no pyrotechnics. Its power is subtle: anyone who holds it finds lies harder to speak and truths harder to avoid.
