However in the dresdenverse there is.

I meant more in-world.  In world there are no stories about Magic Sword with Nails in them, at least not outside of the Clued-In circles that Know that the knights are a literal Power.  There are legends about Kusanagi, and plenty about Excalibur, but nothing that touches on a Connection to the Divine and so nothing that should actually affect the Truth/Manifestation of the Swords.  Unless you do have an example from the text of the Sword conforming to popular stories and/or mortal belief?


That's not to say the Swords are Immune to the effects of Human Perception, I just think those effects are far more restricted and Carefully Monitored, restricted specifically to the Knights that have been granted the Authority to Use, Change, and even Break them.

-What is the relationship between the Swords and royal blood?*
This was a question posed in one of the unsolved mysteries threads.  I'm glad it is still being debated.

Thinking back on Amber, I was wondering if it corresponds in some way to the families of Order and Chaos.  I think I like the in book explanation better though about having territory and defending it is what corresponds to idea of royalty that the Sword responds too.

raidem:
I was thinking more about peoples connection to the MacFinn family. I wonder if Tera West intentionally gathered members of the cursed line to form the basis for the Alphas.  That means they could also have been potential Loup Garou's.  She may have been doing that, teaching them about being a wolf so that they could be better able to control themself as a "Loup Garou" should it jump to them.
