Sarat Wept was a sword once owned by Urudat, the Letherii King's Champion four generations before Brys Beddict. It was a left-handed, heavy, almost oversized sword and was among the last to be forged in the Blue Style, the very earliest technique for forging Letherii steel. The blade had an aquamarine colour, and it pulled as its line was a hair's breadth outward.[1]
According to Ceda Kuru Qan, the blade was magically invested to make it shatter upon the wielder's death, although it had obviously failed to do so. Like all Blue Style swords, it was cursed to produce a unique lingering cry everytime it struck.[1]
In Midnight Tides[]
Brys Beddict returned to Kuru Qan to report that the city's Azath Tower had died and its prisoners were on the brink of escaping en masse. But before the Azath House perished, it made a bargain with one of its prisoners to serve as its protector. This entity told Brys it required two swords of the best iron.[2]
The Ceda took Brys to his hidden hoard of cursed weapons stashed in a tunnel beneath the Lether River. They chose Sarat Wept and Glory Goat as the most suitable swords.[2]
In The Crippled God[]
The sword was later given to Rud Elalle, when Silchas Ruin acquired a Hust sword.[citation needed]
