Orm the Sharp

In Character Abilitiiesies
An axe so sharp no sheathe will safeguard its edge. When it draws blood it glows blue and grows ever lighter in the hand of its wielder.

History
Said to have been Orm Skaggasson's, this axe features in the tale of Orm and the Serpent. The story tells of a man of slight stature but great cunning who sought to defeat a Lind Wyrm, Hald the Unclean, which was plaguing the lands of his people. By offering to a spirit of the forge his right eye and both molars he was granted the skill to craft this weapon. With it he went into battle with Hald and cut from the serpent its poison fangs, but fell in the deed and was swallowed by the great Wyrm. Some say Hald the Unclean now sleeps deep beneath the ground, eternally bleeding inside as Orm's axe is sat buried into its stomach. Others say that Orm's deed was finished, and that in swallowing man and axe alike, Hald sealed her fate and died to the weapon. What is known is that Orm was never seen again, nor was Hald, but two curved pillars of rock, hollow and thrust deep into the ground, are now sat outside the cave where Hald the Unclean was rumoured to lair.
