The Gods are surprisingly tolerant when it comes to property ownership rights. Verra knows exactly what Spellbreaker is when Vlad shows it to her. She could have simply taken it from him. For that matter, if she'd asked him to give it to her, he probably would have done so given the proper convincing. Even when Vlad finally creates Godslayer, Verra reacts with a certain amount of disgust but she doesn't strike Vlad down or otherwise try to take it from him. A better question is whether a Great Weapon would allow itself to be taken into the Paths by a dead soul. The Lords of Judgement should be able to dispose of all of the Great Weapons, yet they haven't done so, Godslayer being the sole exception. On the one hand, this is because they are subverting their original purpose by using them to protect Dragaera from the Jenoine. To the left, it may also be that they are incapable of disposing of them after all. The best they could do with Godslayer was to decompose it into its component parts and separate them. One has to wonder why they didn't send it into another dimension or at least place the knife and the chain in a vault in the Paths for safe keeping. (Then again, time does weird things around the Gods and the Serioli think in a strange "trans-temporal" frame of reference so maybe from a mortal's point of view, Godslayer has only just now been created and its destruction happens some time in the future.) Kieron's Greatsword has never been described as Morganti and Vlad has been around it many times. Every time Blackwand or Pathfinder are drawn, he reminds us how unpleasant an experience it is to be near them. (Hmmm, this may put a damper on any possible reconciliation between Vlad and Cawti...) We've never heard any such description for the Greatsword. It's primarily a symbol, with whatever power any sword gains from being wielded by a legendary historical figure and whatever magic was imbued into it at the time it was forged.
