This blade was said to be a gift from the palace blacksmith to the son of Emperor Rangovert for his bravery during the War of the Eight Scars. The feathers that adorn the hilt supposedly belong to a fearsome roc that the tyrannical Rhuth’ol the Kingslayer once rode into battle. It served as a reminder that cunning, courage, and strategy can prevail against an overwhelming horde.
