Sword of S'task

The Sword of S'task is a sword made by a man named S'harien in the ways of the old Vulcan smiths. Surak came to his quarters one night with a bundle with three swords in it. "Keep these safe, I pray you," he said in the Old High Vulcan of ceremony. S'task took the bundle, bowed deeply and made no other answer. It contained three of the most priceless S'hariens on the planet, two of which had thought to belong to kings, and one to the High Councillor. How he had come to have them, S'task never found out. Two were lost during the voyage to Romulus, and the one that made it, the one that lay in the Empty Chair in the Council chambers, became known as the Sword of S'task.
