Originally in the basement of the Mansion in Majula, there was a chest that contained a Soul Vessel. I have only just jumped back on again, the last time I played being before the "Crown of the Old Iron King" DLC was released, and it has been replaced with what appears to be a blue Longsword.
When did this happen? Was the Soul Vessel swapped out, or is it just a chance to get different items now? Is there anything special about the Longsword (apart from the appearance)?

The Majula Mansion Chest does not only contain a soul vessel, but is where you can get special event weapons/items. Once the event is over the soul vessel will be back, but until then it will be the current reskinned weapon (The Moonlight Longsword).
