The final blades are the guillotines of Galt, and are potent symbols of the revolution. Each one appears to be different, and they have names such as Bloody Jaine.
First commissioned by the original Revolutionary Council (founded by the philosophers Hosetter and Jubannich), these instruments of death were designed by Citizen Margaery San Trayne. By her demands, a tool would be used to bring: “a swift and humane end, offering no escape through the magics of resurrection—and furthermore, keeping even the vilest Galtan soul from falling into the clutches of a Chelish devil.”[1]
As well as causing a swift death, they trap their victims' souls to ensure no resurrection is possible. Only Galt's executioners, the Gray Gardeners, know the ritual to release the soul.[2]
Individual Final Blades
- Bloody Jaine
- Razor Jenni
- Razor Jenni sits in the centre of Edme's Torvin Academy in the academy's once elegant quadrangle; the Academy has been converted to serve as a political prison. It was this Final Blade that was used to execute the half-elf philosopher Hosseter, one of Galt's and Edme's most famous citizens and earliest revolutionaries.[3]
- Madame Margaery
- Madame Margaery is located next to the Monolith in the capital city of Isarn.
- Toothy Morris
- The final blade known as Toothy Morris ended up in the hands of a frost giant, and was reforged into a vorpal greataxe called Jorngarl's Harm.[4]
