symbols of death - the sword

[LoudAngryJerk]

Okay so ever since I saw the option to attack the barathian guy for the weapon he guards in the 1st part of this quest, I've wanted to find out what the weapon is. apparently it's a sword, called engloliero do espirs. My question is this. ATM it's just a quest item. With the flavor text saying that you can't remove it from it's scabbard. So I'm wondering is it possible to make it so you can, does anyone know yet? is it part of symbols of death? or do I need another quest. I've already done one encounter without the corresponding quest (breaking into the dark cupboard's owner's house so I can steal his stuff, if there is a quest there I've not been able to find it.) I'd prefer to be able to find out what to do, if only generally, so I can maybe use this sword everyone's so scared of.

It's part of the late-game Principi questline.
