The Fourth Holy Sword

But if it's not a Sword of the Cross, why associate it with the Swords at all?

Cortana and Joyuse are separate, Curtana is reputed to have an inscription on it...
Now we know the two blades above are separate, which means it is not a re-naming of a blade that was once these two...but a blade within the same family...for the sake of the WAG its brother, Joyuse (Amoracchius) and itself (Durendal).

I meant same as Durandal. Or of the same group, not the same as each other.

Working off the notion that each archangel was sort of a guardian or caretaker of a sword each we'd be one short. And since thus far only one has been theorized to be, out of commission so to speak, I wondered why there shouldn't be four blades (again not of the cross, but all in the same general league)...and what you see before you is the Waggieness of all that.

Hmmm. One sword to command them, one sword to lead them all. ;D
Foxed:
There was an alternate theory that the fourth archangel was actually Uriel, who, befitting his role in-series as Heaven's spymaster, provided Soulfire to a mortal instead of a sword.
