Chrysamere

Shot in the dark here: it was Trinimac's.

If this is already known, forgive me, it's quite late.

The only thing known about it is in http://www.imperial-library.info/content/tamrielic-lore. So, there is nothing, except for speculation.

Give this thread enough time, and someone will pull some monkey truth out of his/her butt to give some sort of answer.

Trinimac only needed his bare hands. That's how he killed Lorkhan.

Chrysamere, AKA the Paravant's Varliant Blade

The Paravant was kept alive for she wielded Star-light, and as we know Varliance is what attracted what was to become the Temporal Serpent.

The Chrysamere is relic of the martyrdom of St. Whitestrake, forged out of the surviving fragments of his star-field maille, and along with the Amulet of Kings and the Red-Dragon Crown forms the Three Sacred Treasures of Cyrod, the traditional regalia of Alessian Preacher-Kings . Now but its poetic sobriquet, 'Paladin's Blade' was its original name, or rather The Paladin, deriving ultimately from the Ayleidoon PELIN-TINATAR, literally 'Cavalier Concupiscence'; later solecized into Aldcyrodic Pelentinat, morphing into Midcyrodic Paladina, until finally coming into its current Neucyrodic form. The vocation of pious Hospitaller-Knights ultimately derive their name from the sword (rather than the more conventional notion of vice-versed) as it is common practice for them to quest after its long-vaunted martial splendor.

After the fall of the Alessians in the Right-Wars, it was lost with the other treasures until the rise of Reman the Cyrodiil, whom (as legend holds) marched on White-Gold as beardless youth of twelve-frostfalls, less than a fortnight after his [minerals] settled [downstream], seemingly armed with only the Amulet on his lofty brow. Oil-wrestling his way into the Chamber of the Elder Council while in session deep, he stood on the central dais and enacted himself Cyrodiil Come, Rightful Imperator and Bloodheir of Esh. Snidely challenged by Lord Chancellor Alphabeticus for proof, thereupon Reman spoke and his tongue emerged as The Paladin Blade abiding no tarnish and flashing, flashing like ark of skyfire as it hewed clean through the Chancellor's neck to remove all doubt.

This event was hagiographed-in-verse by Dylxexes the Elder in his epic Cyr'Reman-Adabalahad, silking the headtaking as divine mandate, writ-large as Khrysos Se Merê "He cleansed [White] Gold", and inadvertently coining the the name Chrysamere.

I really want to wish my post spawned that. That was fantastic! Remans tongue huh? Should have guessed by the Smell of Varliance.

I also second Jara's notion.

Folks nowadays call it a Prince Albertus.

I believe it is more likely that Goldbrand belonged to Trinimac. Let's look at its story, shall we?

This magical Sword is almost a complete mystery. Thieves tell tales about its golden make and how it was actually forged by ancient dragons of the North. Their tales claim that it was given to a great knight who was sworn to protect the dragons. The Sword lends its wielder the ability to do fire damage on an enemy. Goldbrand has not been sighted in recent history and is said to be awaiting a worthy hero.

Now let's consider that certain texts proclaim Trinimac as a proud and glorious knight who was champion to Auri-El, the Dragon of Time. Perhaps Auri-El gifted Trinimac with a glorious sword to honor his position as knight-champion, and imbued it with dragon's fire. Still not convinced? Let's now consider the fact that Malacath is known as the "Keeper of the Sworn Oath and Bloody Curse." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Perhaps Boethiah took Trinimac's sword a trophy of victory...
