The Sword of a Templar:

It's not just any weapon. It's not for cutting and killing only. She was not blessed to take the life of another mortal. It's the warrior's soul that melts with her. It is our cross in our hands. It is the death of evil that wants to lose or ambush us. A Templar does not adorn his sword with diamonds and precious stones. Don't bleed her with silver and gold. It's the tempered steel for a warrior of Faith. It's the other half and complement of the knight.. A Templar without a sword has his life force and virtue that makes him unstoppable, while he lives, but with his sword he is much more. She is blessed and ordained, to do good and to defend the oppressed. It is the noble weapon of so many battles and heroic acts. A templar sword is not just any sword. It's not the one of a king or a crusader that wields it. It's not the katana of a samurai. But they both know what it means to be a true Templar (not a circus clown) and what their sword represents. They will not fear who walk straight and do good works, helping and respecting others. Do not fear the poor and the humble, to the sword of a Templar. Fear not the pure in heart and those who seek truth. My weapon will not be the simple tool of which it does not merge with its spirit. The temple of the Templar sword is greater than that of a mortal warrior, who went to battle alone with his strength and was not clothed with the armor of his Faith.
