Weapon History[]
Level 1
There were two sisters who were renowned as the greatest swordsmiths in the kingdom. No matter who challenged them, none could make a finer sword.
Level 2
One day, a wandering bard visited their home. He sang with a voice so beautiful that the gods wept to hear it, and both sisters fell deeply in love with the kind and gallant skald.
Level 3
Each of them set about making the most magnificent sword, so that they might win his love. But their bitter rivalry led them to make only dull and brittle blades.
Level 4
Seeing their discord, the skald offered to take both of them as his brides. With their rivarly ended, together the sisters crafted this magnificent sword and named it Skald's Song.
Level 1
In a cold land to the north, there
lived two sisters who loved each
other very much. They made their
living as blacksmiths and owned a
little workshop in the village. One
day, they were working hard as
usual when a villager ran in, and
told them that their mother - who
had been missing since they were
little – had been found!
Level 2
The sister’s mother was trapped
inside a glacier on the top of a
mountain, as beautiful as the day
she disappeared. The sisters tried
to destroy the glacier, but none of
their smithing tools could make
any impression on the iron-hard
glacial ice.
Level 3
When nothing else showed any sign
of working, one of the sisters said,
"Sister, what about one of our
swords?" So they took their finest
creation, Skald’s Song, and swung
it at the glacier. As the blade
touched the ice, there was a mighty
explosion and the sisters found
themselves in the loving arms
of their long lost mother.
Level 4
"How you’re both grown!"
Their mother had survived inside
the glacier for all that time. The
sisters cried tears of joy and talked
so their mother for days on end.
When they finally got up to leave,
their mother made no attempt to
stop them. They were, after all,
smiths who commanded fire.
