'''Mystletainn''' (pronounced {{IPA|ˈmɪsəlˌteɪn}}<ref>Eldigan in ''Heroes''</ref>; Japanese: {{hl|ミストルティン|Misutorutin}} ''Mystletainn'') is a regalia [[sword]] introduced in {{FE4}}. Also known by the epithet "Demon Sword" (Japanese: {{hl|魔剣|Maken}} ''demon sword'' or ''magic sword''), it is the weapon once wielded by [[Hezul]] of [[Jugdral]]'s [[Twelve Crusaders]], bestowed upon him at the [[Miracle of Darna]] after his blood pact with a dragon. The blade is the property of Hezul's descendants, those in possession of major Hezul [[Holy Blood]], and is sealed to their exclusive use.

==History==
==History==
Originally, Mystletainn was the the property of Hezul's family, the Agusti royal family of [[Agustria]], but when his major-blooded daughter married into the [[Nordion]] noble family, the major Hezul lineage was accidentally passed to House Nordion while the Agusti family was left with only minor blood, which by the time of King [[Chagall]] has apparently dissipated. The royal family then gave Mystletainn to House Nordion, in exchange for an oath of unwavering fealty to the crown.<ref>''"Black Knight Hezul founded the Agusti Royal Family. He had many children and one of them, his youngest daughter who possessed the Brand, was married off to the Nordion family. From then on, the successor of the Brand appeared within the Nordion Royal Family and they were allowed to take the Demon Sword Mystletainn if they swore an oath of loyalty to the Agusti Royal Family. In terms of bloodline, the rulers of Agusti were Hezul's direct descendants."'' - Designers' notes from a ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' playing guide, as translated by [http://www.serenesforest.net/general/designer4_2.html Serenes Forest]</ref>

The blade was eventually inherited by [[Eldigan]] the Lionheart, the lord of Nordion as of Grann 757 and a friend of [[Sigurd]] of [[Chalphy]]. He wielded it in combat first to defend Sigurd's base at Evans Castle from [[Elliot]] during Sigurd's sortie into [[Verdane]], and later against Sigurd's forces at the behest of King [[Chagall]], up until his execution by his king. The blade was then passed to his son, [[Ares]], who wielded it as a mercenary serving [[Javarro]] in [[Darna]] and later in fighting in [[Seliph]]'s liberation army.

[[Fire Emblem Awakening|Eons later]], possession of Mystletainn was sought by Prince [[Owain]] of [[Ylisse]], who considered it the "fated mate to his sword hand"; in his eagerness, he mistook [[Missiletainn|a common sword]] belonging to a resident of the Sage's Hamlet for Mystletainn.<ref>{{Cite|'''Owain:''' My mettle in combat is the stuff of legend!
