	;[[Dominion Breaker\|Sae’kes Taelien]]: The Sae'kes Taelien, or '''Dominion Breaker''', is the most powerful weapon at Taelien's disposal. It is a powerful dominion-marked sword with seven runes and a jewelled pommel. Created by the four Kelrien worldmakers, the Dominion Breaker channels the pure essence of the fathomless dominion of annihilation ([[sae essence\|sae]]). Taelien has to actively suppress the aura when he uses the blade to prevent it cutting through his allies by powering the runes on the blade. The name of the blade the 'Sae’kes Taelien' is from the Liadran language and roughly translates to ''sword that gives destruction to all things''. The gemstone pommel is connected to the Dominion of Travel and was made by [[Caerdanel]] while the gem in the hilt is connected to the Dominion of Insight and was designed by [[Kelryssia]] to give the blade additional abilities. Training to power the runes on the sword has helped strengthen the dominion connections in Keras' body. There are a few abilities that the Sae'kes can perform: 'Spell Breaker', 'Mana Breaker/Essence Breaker' and 'Dominion Breaker'. Keras has demonstrated the ability to use the Spell Breaker technique and was stopped just before using Essence Breaker. Every time Keras uses the sae'kes he desires to use it more.		;[[Dominion Breaker\|Sae’kes Taelien]]: The Sae'kes Taelien, or '''Dominion Breaker''', is the most powerful weapon at Taelien's disposal.

	*'''Spell Breaker''' is a power from the Dominion Breaker. It is the ability to detonate spells, artifacts and enchantments. Detonating even weak spells causes destruction with varying types of damage depending on the mana type of the destroyed spell when mixed with the annihilation power of the sae'kes. If Keras destroys enchanted items with his Spell Breaker technique a little essence from the item goes to Keras empowering him.		:*'''Spell Breaker''' is a power from the Dominion Breaker.

	*'''Essence Breaker''' (aka '''Mana Breaker''') is another technique from the sae'kes, apparently designed by [[Kelryssia]]. It causes mana within the body of anyone cut with the sae'kes when the technique is active to explode, creating a massive blast, which could then potentially cause a chain reaction of mana resulting in an infinitely spreading explosion.		:*'''Essence Breaker''' (aka '''Mana Breaker''') is another technique from the sae'kes, apparently designed by [[Kelryssia]].

	Taelien has a scabbard for the Dominion Breaker which is one of the few things that can restrain the sae'kes. It uses immensely powerful protection sorcery. The more damaged the scabbard becomes the more Taelien is willing to draw on the sae'kes. The scabbard has a metal edge, which Taelien often shapes during the [[War of Broken Mirrors]] series so that he can wield the sae'kes without actually drawing the blade.		:Taelien has a scabbard for the Dominion Breaker which is one of the few things that can restrain the sae'kes.
