[GM Marvel]

"Thank you for accepting.  With our leader's death, we offer you the symbol of leadership that was bestowed upon Berdem by the Magistrate when he became leader."  The guard lifts the blanket covering the corpse and removes a long scabbard that was resting down the midline of his body.  "Berdem was given this but never used it because he preferred his longsword.  But it's yours now for as long as you lead us."  The guard holds the scabbard by the tip and the pommel while presenting it to you.
