About Viking Sword

Pattern-welded from twisted rods of iron and steel, creating beautiful patterns. More valuable than a farm. Passed down through generations with names like Leg Biter and Life Taker. Often buried with their owners. The quality varied enormously, from cheap imports to masterworks.
