More from Ankar and Rune Weapons

Ankar has learned that the location of Eldvöð has been revealed and perhaps that would be a better option than the Kuhl-Thahn Forge at this time. Also, Eldvöð is not that far away, but lies in the ruins of an abandoned city in the grasslands. Truth is, it might be jumping the shark to go to Khul-Thahn at this point.

Runes Weapons Of Legend

Chronos type: ring
Appearing as a silver ring with intricate gold runes carved on it inside and out

Void type: sword
There are not any reliable descriptions of this weapon only a report that comes from a Halthar of Gyun who was a known liar and might never have actually seen this blade. His writing says that the blade is glossy black and highly reflective, although it mirrors everything in negative colors. If you stare at it for even a moment, the images start to swirl and distort in nightmarish fashion. The runes along the blade are hard to see and many swear that they move about like ants across the surface of water. The cross piece looks like the mandibles from some large, carnivorous insect and the hilt, unwrapped, looks like plain steel.

Necros type: septre
A hazy crystal ball about 3 inches in diameter with several blood-red runes inside of it is seated atop a ring of carved miniature human skulls that act like the prongs holding the ball in place. The shaft of the septre is a black and silver sculpture of a tower of dead naked bodies of all humanoid races.

Rök type: sword
The Stormblade is a beautifully crafted silver sword with a line of opalescent blue runes carved along its length. It is known that among its lesser powers it can predict/ know the weather in any part of Palladium. It is second in beauty, perhaps, to Ice.

Eldvoð type: sword
It appears as a plain steel sword with a thin line of runes carved down the center. It often seems to be faintly covered with carbon. The blade can glow red, as if just plucked from the smith's forge.

Vaka-Svefn type: helmet
The helm is said to be of a golden lion's head, although it is very lightweight to wear. The runes are carved along the inside rim of the helmet. The interior strap and cushioning are not runic, and so must replaced whenever it wears out. Literally, the helmet's name comes out something like ”waking-sleep”. Some believe this to be the Trojan Horse of runic items.

Ice type: sword
A white gold blade with sparkling silver runes, many say this blade is one of the most beautiful ever made. It is known that it can summon a blizzard in the tropics and freeze 5 square miles of ocean water.

Castlerake type: sword
A large, strong looking blade with faintly golden runes along its length. This blade has felled many a castle wall in its time.

Lodos type: staff
A very knotted and twisted wooden staff, its runes are hard to spot for some since they wind up its length like a ribbon, following the contours of the undulating wood. Some say this staff can raise a forest overnight while others claim it can cause a lunar eclipse of one of Palladiums two small moons. This is not generally a sought after item since it is not suspected to have any offensive power.

Raven type: sword
A strange white blade, like bleached bone or unglazed china, two ribbons of jet black runes twist in a helix like pattern up the blade. Its color has given it the nickname “Bone Blade”. Stories say that you never had to wipe the blade clean as it drank whatever blood it tasted. Although its powers remain a mystery, it is thought to be one of the most powerful blades ever created. It is perhaps second in creepiness only to Void.
It is suspected by some that Mephistopholes or Hel had some part in creating this sword, which would make it a demon-slayer. Others argue that Mantus, the demon lord of the dead more likely influenced its creation.

Celeros type: sword/ring
There is debate as to whether this is a ring or a sword. In either case it appears as if it were a fine lace or spider's web cast in silver blue metal. The runes, which are few, are formed by the negative space left by the holes in the ring/blade. There is a myth that Celeros was created to battle King Dewsduon, the original owner of Chronos.
