Gaurwaith
Mechanics & Inner Workings
History
Gaurwaith (elvish for "wolf man") was crafted centuries ago by the Royal Imperial Wizard, Rassilon, around the year 2130 C.Y, Emperor Romulus commanded his royal wizard to create the weapon as a gift for the Baron Zigurd Blackwulf, ruling noble of the outpost fortress of Oathheath. It was a powerful magical weapon that was meant to be a symbol of nobility and rulership of the eastern border barony and its surrounding lands.
A prophecy of sorts was decreed by Rassilon himself that whomover possessed Gaurwaith shall be the rightful ruler of Oathheath. For over 300 years the sword was passed down from baron to heir, with that heir using Gaurwaith as a badge of office to ascend to ruler of the barony. Then little more than 320 years later, Prince Ildanar, heir to the Imperial throne led his fateful expedition to Emperor's Rift and awakened the horde of demonic shadows that quickly overran the empire of Celinad. Due to the proximity of it's location, Oathheath was the first land to fall to the demon army. The ruling baron at the time, Klain Blackwulf , reatreated with Oathheath's survivors to help the Emperor make a final stand, raising Gaurwaith defiantly as he fell to the demonic horde. After the fall of Celinad, the sword was presumed lost among the ruins as no ruling baron has had it in their possession since.
