What does Sassanian Sword do in CK3?
Prestige +0.01/month (patch 1.20.0.3).
How do you get Sassanian Sword with the console?
effect create_artifact_sassanian_sword_effect = { OWNER = root } — runs the scripted effect that makes it, for the character you play (debug mode).

Said to be a remnant of the old Sassanian era, this sword is embellished with several gemstones and features intricate patterns, making it a magnificent sight to behold. Though nowadays it is too fragile to be taken into battle, perhaps this sword was once held by a hero now lost to time?

History and who has it

  • Made before recorded history.
  • At game start: the holder of Mazandaran (starts before 900.1.1) — needs Legacy of Persia.

How it is made

The game creates it with the scripted effect create_artifact_sassanian_sword_effect. In the console (how to open it), this gives it to the character you play:

effect create_artifact_sassanian_sword_effect = { OWNER = root }

Built from the effect's file; not run in the game by us.
