Title says all but using this space to add to that.
In order to start the quest to earn the Exotic, you must have the Iron Lord title unlocked. For anyone who has it already, Saladin will have the quest right away. Bonus progress for each guild to the title. The quest both starts and ends at the Iron Temple, where you obtain the sword. But unlike other swords, it has 3 unique frames specific to the class you're on. Think of it as a sword custom made to your liking. Take away the weaken effect and replace with a Scorching tornado effect instead. When the "Flames Are Lit" perk is active, all swings inflict Scorch. Requires using the Heavy attack to activate. The catalyst (earned in Iron Banner matches) grants bonus Scorch to the perk plus gives either Incandescent or "The Wolves Howl," allowing for the sword to deal bonus stacking damage while "Flames Are Lit" is active.
This sword I've really wanted to see in D2 and to be honest, there isn't an Iron Banner exotic reward. Could be used for Core Playlist drops. Crucible can give Icebreaker (follows Checkmate rules in all activities). Gambit could give...Super Good Advice. Crucible I'll let others think of for. Each a unique quest and worth chasing. May already have a lot of choice (and some may need help to see use), but it may also help bring life to the activities. Adding to YWH: Craftable. Works similar to how the Glaives work for each class. Only instead of at the Enclave, you get them as Saladin.
Just to add for Iron Banner: Can the 25 win triumph not cap at 5 Iron Banner pieces please?! Should cap at 8 at least. Bonus progress for each piece of gear instead of what the max bonus for ranking currently stands. I get why the triumph exists but it should come at the cost of whether or not I should use exotics or go full Iron Banner gear to clear the triumph faster?

HELL NO!!! I would rather it be a quest item than it being given on the fly.
