Blessed and accursed, this sword slew the last Roman king. His blood still stains the hilt, and three gods watch over it. Janus casts his gaze upon its hilt, and will cause it to turn in the hand just so, separating the pinnacle of their ambition from it's source. Juno's rage speaks in its point, and will pierce the heart of the tyrant, in the name of a mother and a wife and a woman wronged. Cardea loves it as her own and will cast it's enemies down into the dust. Remember Lucretia, and the will and the words that moved the people to cast down the tyrant. If you fall, another will take up the sword. Wield it in the name of Rome to destroy those who would set themselves above the will of the people. Cut down the Princes, and cut down the Lords, and cut down the Kings and let their blood spill out onto the hungry earth. If you fall, someone else will pick up the sword and carry on your work.
Creatures and beings executed by LUCRETIA'S BLADE will die even if in possession of blessings or skills that would otherwise allow them to escape that fate.
When executing a character with this weapon (and ONLY when executing a character with this weapon), use the call "EXECUTE - PERMANENT".

Possession of the Sword of Lucretia can make Republican sentiment very strong. While holding the sword in your hand you can call RESIST to any mystery or special item which would make them act in a way you choose not to.
