Only one such elf failed to draw the blade this was Divisav Irithyl, a greedy son of the first Coronal, Kahvoerm Irithyl. To become Coronal of the elves, an heir must pass the test of Blade-rite, an ancient ritual which culminated in the drawing of the Ruler's Blade. Ilsevele accepted the blade and became the first Coronal in over seven centuries. In the Year of the Haunting, 1377 DR, the Srinshee returned at last to Myth Drannor and offered the Ruler's Blade to Ilsevele Miritar in recognition of her wise rulership and involvement in the realm's refounding. However, saddened at the moral failings of the elves, she took the blade and her High Mages and departed from the mortal realm to Arvandor until a time when she deemed the elves worthy of the gift of the Ruler's Blade and a Coronal who couldunite the elves as Oacenth wished returned to claim it. In the end, the Srinshee drew the blade and was proven worthy. Soon, some non-elves attempted to draw the blade, which caused civil strife and combat before the Rule Tower. Days passed as more and more elves tested their might, but none proved worthy. Every noble house sent representatives who each in turn were destroyed after being proven unworthy. Aravae was ultimately murdered three years after her uncle died, and in the Year of Stern Judgment, 666 DR, the first open Claiming Ceremony begun in Myth Drannor.
In the Year of the Bloody Tusk, 661 DR, after the passing of Coronal Eltargrim Irithyl, the Ruler's Blade hovered atop the Rule Tower awaiting a claiming ceremony during the five years of mourning instituted by the Coronal's niece and lone heir, Aravae Irithyl. Since it was drawn by the first Coronal Kahvoerm Irithyl, it never left the side of the Coronals. The Ruler's Blade was created by Elven High Magic alongside its mates, the Warblade and the Artblade in −4000 DR, at the behest of the ill Coronal of Jhyrennstar, Oacenth, who desired the magical swords to determine the rulers of the united tribes and new nation of Cormanthyr.
