Shiga Eight Swords

The [Shiga Eight Sword] or Eight Shiga Swords are titles given to the eight top swordsmen/warriors within the holy knights who are conversely the strongest in the kingdom. They're subordinates of Shiga kingdom's king. Sir Julberg refers to the Shiga Eight Swords as the pike that protects the kingdom.

Former Eights

 * Sharorik Shiga, the third prince of Shiga Kingdom, was a candidate to the extent he was given the kingdom's holy sword, Claiomh Solais, by the king and then prematurely becoming the second seat.
 * Sir Trell, nicknamed, [Gale]. The former fourth place of Shiga Eight Swords. The person who challenged and lost to a lesser dragon, retiring right after.

Trivia

 * The favorite cane of the ancestor king Yamato is to be used by the top royal court magician in successive generations. It seems the reason why the king doesn't use the holy sword (Claiomh Solais) and the cane himself is because Yamato had implemented a system where they can only be used by the right person.
