Edits have been completed and our retcon, I believe, is fully accomplished (at least in the game thread). Again, if anyone catches something I may have missed, just let me know and I'll correct as needed.
As to Aranwen's blade, I don't believe it was mentioned that her sword actually hit the soil, so I think she's safe to keep it. I, of course, defer to our illustrious DM on the final decision, there, but, as I read it, Aranwen's sword is still useable in accordance with Bladesinger tradition.
Now... coffee and, perhaps, another little post of my own.
