The Dark Blades

Some 200 years ago, the God of War, and son of Seiryuu, Kouhei, noticed a great imbalance of power.
Although most gods, goddesses, spirits, demons, and other supernatural creatures have no desire to harm humanity - and in fact most wish to aid them in some way - he was aware that there were those who would use their powers to oppress and enslave, or outright murder, those too weak to defend themselves. Although he had no particular fondness for humans, Kouhei always valued a fair fight.
With that in mind, he used some of this magic to create eight Dark Blades. These blades are katana crafted from a special metal that - along with the magic used to create them - makes their blades appear black.
There were eight blades created, with two assigned to each kingdom. They have a few special abilities and qualities.
~The swords are intended to protect the innocent humans of the world. Thus, they cannot be used to harm an innocent.
~The swords have invulnerability against normal methods of breaking or disarming swords, but they become vulnerable if someone tries to use it to harm an innocent.
~There is a small charm hanging on each sheath. Although it appears to be a delicate thing made of glass, it is actually indestructible. It has a soft orange-yellow glow that matches the unusual color of his eyes.
~When the sword is taken up by its chosen wielder, swirls of their eye color will join his in the glass charm.
~When a person is destined to wield the blade, the sword will glow for a short time to indicate their destined ownership of the sword. The light is: Red for the blades given to Konan (Suzaku), Blue for the swords given to Kutou (Seiryuu), White for the swords given to Sailo (Byakko) or Green for the blades given to Hokkan (Genbu).
~These swords have the ability to fatally injure gods and goddesses, as well as other supernatural beings that may be immune to normal weapons. They can also break enchantments, grant their wielder a certain amount of protection, and cut through walls or locks, so long as the objective is to rescue or help innocents. It's also believed that they could be used to destroy Fiends, but this is not yet proven.
