So in the mission, "Sword of Crota," isn't it said that the swarm princes are what maintain the sword and without them the sword cannot exist?
We kill the princes to end the mission and the sword disappears.
And what are all these other swords that came with the DLC? As in Blades of Crota and in the raid, Swordbearers?
There's also the fact that in the mission the sword is of normal size yet when we finally meet Crota in the raid he is much larger than us and his sword is much larger than the one from the mission.
There seems to be many holes in this whole sword concept.
Any input would be great.

When you complete the Sword of Crota for the first time it IS destroyed as you have to take the sword's shards to someone at the tower for a reward. This sword was Crota's sword in our world. The Sword he has in the Raid is the sword that he has in the world he created but can't take it with him to our world. Now to The Wakening mission, you don't destroy his soul, you only destroy the crystal that holds his soul. Hence why there is a crystal in the Raid that he uses to cross over. The Blades of Crota are the names of the knight not the actual name of the swords. Like Heart of Crota, fist of Crota and will of Crota etc. The sword's that the swordbearers use are called Ascendant Sword's, and are just more powerful swords then the normal knights use on earth and the moon.
