An image of the stone out of its container.
How It Was Made[]
This stone was quite old and had laied in an unknown place for centuries. This stone would eventually be used by Heka. Made from powerful amber and Magic The witch Heka was able to create a stone that could trap even the most powerful supernatural beings. Though its intended purpose was to house Vampire souls(similarly to the phoenix stone) it is different in this regard due to the fact that it can house any supernatural being.
Name Origin[]
The Darius Stone was named that because it was able to hold The Original Preeminet Vampire Darius.
What It Does[]
The Darius Stone Creates illusions similar to the Pheonix Stone and it will torment the person in order for them to repent for their sins prior to being within the stone.
The Sigils[]
On the amulet that protects/encases the stone, there are 6 sigils that ward off Supernatural Creatures from it but can also trap them. The first sigil represents Vervain. The second one stands for Prison. The third Sigil Means Pain and Agony. The Fourth Sigil Corresponds with Anger and Rage that the supernatural beings will feel within the stone. The 5th sigil shows Evil and Bad deeds, supposedly representing the bad things that the one had done in their past. And the 6th and final sigil symbolizes the torture and hell that one faces within this stone.
Resurrection Capabilities[]
If the stone is taken out of its containment (or from the sword) and it is placed on the heart or chest of someone it has the capability of resurrecting them. If one does not clarify what soul to resurrect then it will revive a vampire that it sees worthy of being brought back and will revive said person.
The Darius Sword[]
| “ | See, when a vampire is stabbed through the heart with, uh, the completed sword, it acts as a magical conduit, transferring their spirit into this particularly nasty stone. And the purpose of the stone is to punish vampires like you boys. | ” | |

Description Of The Darius Sword[]
Very little is actually known regarding the Darius Stone, With even fewer written accounts regarding the sword's creation and use as a weapon seems to be unavailable on the subject, as none of the books Alaric sought out had any concrete information regarding the weapon, In fact, he mistook it for the Pheonix Stone due to their unknown similarities.
The sword itself is very short, around one foot four inches, almost like a dagger. The blade seems to be made of a hard gold or amber, possibly bronze material. The blade also has some kind of a D/X-shaped edge quite similar to The Phoenix Stone Sword. At the pommel within the hilt, there is a circular empty space, made of the same metal from the blade. The round empty space is where the Darius Stone fits in, completing the sword. It can then be used to stab a vampire (or other supernatural) in the heart to transfer their soul into the stone. On some occasions sealing one within the stone doesn't require one to stab their target in the heart and can instead be in the torso (preferably the chest region). This is done quite uncommonly though due to the fact that if one has enough willpower they will be able to break free from the stone or resist their soul being transferred within it.
The Second Darius Sword[]
The second darius sword (Darius Stone Sword) is the copy that was made using magic. It works the same as the original sword though it is slightly weaker. Also the swords both share the same stone, so if one was to be trapped within the second darius stone they will be placed with the stone of the original sword. Samara Gilbert is the current wielder of the second sword.
Darius Sword Appearance[]
The Darius Stone is a sleek golden sword with waves that almost pop out from within it. The handle of the sword is maroon and golden with a sector at the bottom the holds the sword within. When taking a closer look one is able to examine and see that there is multiple powerful inscriptions embedded onto the stone. This hard to decode language is Latin and Egyptian, being of very old and ancient writing.
Trivia Regarding The Sword[]
- According to Aldus Charlamange and Heka before her ultimate demise, the Darius Sword was custom made just for Darius Salvatore (Despite being the weapon originally designed to be used to seal him inside of it). This could have possibly been Heka's plan all along with the making of the sword. If Darius takes a liking to the sword (highly possible to happen due to it being designed just for his use), then he could kill other supernaturals and rid them from the world, though this is unknown.
- The sword can only work if the Darius Stone is attached to the hilt of the sword.
- Non-fatal wounds inflicted by the sword do not heal and leaves a D-shaped scar with an X through it on the intended target. The scar reopens when in near proximity to the complete sword.
- Such power makes this sword the first known weapon that can do somewhat lasting damage to vampires and supernaturals who would typically heal from their wounds.
- The scar, left by the sword could have its signal masked with a rare anti-magical herb that witches like Freya and Valerie know about. However, now that the herb has been found and destroyed, it is unlikely any magic could hide the signal.
- Such power makes this sword the first known weapon that can do somewhat lasting damage to vampires and supernaturals who would typically heal from their wounds.
- The mark left behind from being impaled by the sword, alongside the connection to Darius and Heka, can be transferred to another blood relative.
- If The Darius Stone and Sword are destroyed then every single vampire soul trapped inside of it will be released and freed. The number of Vampires within the stone is so enormous that if one was to destroy it the magical blast that the stone would create would plague the lands of its nutrients for decades to come and everything in a multiple-mile radius would be affected by this magical eruption.
- According to Julian, time has no meaning in the stone's prison, suggesting that the prison dimension exists outside of time and space, or otherwise manipulates the vampire soul's ability to sense the passage of time.
- Before its construction into the darius sword it was

Other Information[]
it is a special Item that temporarily sealed away the Vampire known as Darius Salvatore in the 1800s. After participating in the Haiti Massacre in 1804, Darius would return to his home in New Orleans. Once he stepped foot on the land he would be brutally attacked by Witches from all corners. In the midst of this, a witch named Heka would trap him within this Stone which she named after him.
