Rex Nothus

Rex Nothus (れくす のてす, Rekusu Notesu; Latin for "Bastard King") is a divine weapon personally created by Velia Agostinha Vivax and presented to Diluculum Sanctus founder Axenus Divus Crux. A sword widely detailed in Nefas lore, Rex Nothus is highly coveted for its relation to the first Nefas and supposedly unspeakable power; it is the most well-known among the five legendary Nefas weapons and possibly the powerful of them all.

Rex Nothus disappeared into obscurity during the prosperity of Diluculum Sanctus along with its first wielder. It is revealed that Axenus left this sword behind for reasons unknown, which was taken back by Agostinha and "gifted" to Randa Primarosa's descendants. The sword would be inherited by Massimo da Parma, father of Silvio da Parma, many centuries later, triggering upheaval and confusion within the Nefas population from its sudden reappearance. In the end, the sword fell into Randa's possession, although it is unknown if she is capable of actually wielding it.

Rex Nothus' abilities are largely shrouded in mystery even in the current era. Like all Nefas weapons crafted by Agostinha, Rex Nothus demands a very powerful wielder to be fully utilized; it is said that if it should the sword ever be swung an inadequate wielder, it will simply obliterate them. With the death of Axenus, it is often spoken that no man currently exists with the right to hold this mighty blade.
