forged by the crow-mage from shards of darkness

honed by the halfbreed to vorpal sharpness

behold!

the bastard's blade



bane of the demon lord

slayer of the spider-priests

spiller of the silver blood



fragments of bore infused with purest steel

a warrior's hand and a wizard's mind to wield

killer of Lor, avenging those accursed

gathering knowledge, quenching deadly thirst
