While we've never been told explicitly that Keiron's greatsword is or isn't a Morganti weapon (prerequisite to being a Great Weapon), I can't imagine the Gods would let him wander around the waiting room of unreincarnated with a soul-destroying weapon. Even less likely they'd let him carry around a Great Weapon, which, let us recall, were made for purpose of killing the Gods. -- "Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind Cannot bear very much reality."
