 Although Surface Current is known to be older, the first reliable records of it are from when the Empress donated it to a grandchild of Ledaal, as part of the hoard of her gifts to the newly founded house.  Ledaal Valevuo carried it for many years, passing it on to a worthy younger relative when she retired from active duty.  It was last seen in the hands of Ledaal Uhskals on his trip to investigate the Skullstone Archipelago, but he escaped with barely his life, and has been tight-lipped about what happened to him on his trip.  Since then, there are tales of an newly exalted solar carrying it after his trip to the Skullstones, but these have not been confirmed.
-Surface Current is a gently curving blade made of black jade, with faint moonsliver waves traveling along the blade.  Earlier records state that the guard separating the blade and grip was a small band of orichalcum and soulsteel, but according to the latest rumours, the hilt is now guarded by a small soulsteel cup.   It has two hearthestone slots, one in the pommel and one hidden by the cup.

-(3-dot Orichalcum Chain Shirt)
+(Orichalcum Chain Shirt, Artifact •••)
+On a small island on the edges of the Skullstone Archipelago, there was an ancient, tiny, well-hidden tomb, emptied of everything but what appeared to be a simple orichalcum circlet.  The young Solar that happened upon this tomb dared to place the circlet upon his brow, and soon heard whispers, guiding him after the trail of an quite maculate Air Caste.  After a few odd turns of events while on the hunt, he finally catched up to the Dragonblood, and attempted to do battle.  Unfortunately, he was unable to strike a decisive blow, nor corner his prey, until in a fit of inspiration, he transferred the circlet to rest upon the head of his opponent.  The Air Caste went instantly comatose – but when touching the circlet once more, the Solar felt a great apprehension.  He therefore simply took from his defeated opponent the armor they had worn, which had prominently figured in the murals of the tomb, and went upon his way to other adventures in the West.  What became of the Dragonblood is not known.
-===== Menneisyys =====
+Cloudbreak is a plain and simple Orichalcum chain shirt, notable only for it's tendency to catch sunlight when openly worn.  It was  made for newly exalted Solars in an Age when they were expected to soon progress to greater things; it's previous wearers were most likely Zenith or Night castes.  It features a single hearthstone socket in the braiding that forms the neckline.

+===== Evocations of Cloudbreak =====
-Kallonkiven saarelta löytyi muuten tyhjä hauta, mutta oli otsaripa, jonka kautta kuului etäisiä kaikuja kauan sitten kuolleesta Yö-kastin aurinkoisesta.  Sen auttamana lähti jahtaamaan jotain pahaa(?) tehnyttä Ilma-kastia (jos Keisarikuntaa niin ei julkisesti).  Muutamien käänteiden jälkeen kohtasi, ei saanut lyötyä taistelussa, mutta sai painettua otsaripan Ilma-kastin päähän joka veti sen tajuttomaksi.  Merisaukko yritti ottaa otsaripaa takaisin, mutta tuli pahat vibat joten ottikin vain panssarin.   Ilma-kastin tämänhetkinen tila tai paikka ei tiedossa.
+The powers of Cloudbreak evoke the themes of a sunbeam breaking through a rift in clouds.  For the attuned wearer, each time they raise their anima to a new level, they gain 1 initiative.  This bonus may be gained only once per anima level in a scene.  Additionally, when their anima is lowered by sources other than Cloudbreak, they gain 1 mote.

+**Type:** Reflexive\\
+**Keywords:** Mute\\
+**Duration:** Instant\\
+**Prerequisites:** Distracting Glare Reflection
+As the Sun breaks through the clouds, suddenly blinding, it allows the well-prepared to vanish.  When the anima of anyone else within Short range is raised above Glowing, or when they perform a 2- or 3-dice stunt, you may attempt to re-establish stealth as an Reflexive action.

+**Cost:** 1 Wp; (3m/use) **Mins:** Essence 2\\
+**Type:** Simple\\
+**Keywords:** None\\

-===== Voimat =====
+**Dissonant:** You take the damage healed upon yourself.
-Athetics, Stealth.
