"Legend speaks of divine instruments crafted by the Ancients of Apollo. One of these was said to take the appearance of an unusual sword forged with the sacred flames of the Alchemic Sun at the peak of Mt Alpha. A blade of divine construct, Revered by both the Lemurians and the people of Anemos. Its immense power was said to be able to bring light back to the world by summoning the great God of Sol should this land become lost to the unyielding and infinite darkness. Together with the 4 elemental stars, its other function serves as the final 'key' to both the sealing away of; and the restoration of the great Alchemic Sun. However, with the sealing of the great Sun during the eons past, the original sword was said to be lost - such that the great power of the Alchemy would never be found and abused by the men with ill intent."

Those who played the Golden Sun series will recognise this sword name, known as the 'Ultimate sword' in the game. Originally found by Felix and Isaac on Mars Lighthouse under unknown circumstances, a second blade would be found again later in Apollo's Sanctum.

I have a theory in that the Sol Blade found by Felix and Isaac on Mars Lighthouse was a fake or a duplicate of the Original Sol Blade, whilst the Sol Blade found by Isaac's Son, Matthew, in Apollo's Sanctum would be closer to the original Sol Blade since it seemed to have more unleashes and have better overall Stat boosts on equipping. I should point out that the Sol Blade being left in Mar's Lighthouse was probably for gameplay purposes since it did not play a role in the plot other than the fact it was found right before the unsealing of the Golden Sun.

This is my take on designing what the Sol Blade should have looked like. In the first 2 original Golden Sun games, the sword had quite a basic and generic sword design; whilst in Dark Dawn it sported a unique design. My design builds on the design introduced in Dark Dawn plus the addition of features commonly observed with the Ultima Weapons swords from Square Enix's line of games.
