Thunder's Eye

Thunder's Eye is an ancient great sword from a time known as the Time of Subtle Wars. It is said that a warrior named the Thunder Keeper once wielded this iron great sword, and when he did, it shot lightning out of its blade.
While its current location is unknown, our History Keepers have been able to analyze stories and old art enough to be able to put together what the sword looked like and how it worked.

The sword is known for being at least half the height of its master, the Thunder Keeper. Due to fluctuations in heights from various stories, it is concluded that Thunder's Eye may also be able to shapeshift in some form, allowing it to be the perfect height to the Thunder Keeper. This means that the sword is either a little sentient, or there are molds that one can find of the sword at various heights.

Another thing that has been researched is the lightning. While we find it impossible that such a thing can happen (or in the least, very unlikely to happen), it is possible that Thunder's Eye was named after the fact that it had a crystal with the power of electricity and actually electricity running through its blade rather than lightning.
The real question with Thunder's Eye is: Who enchanted it? Considering that it even has an electricity crystal means that someone had to enchant the crystal first. So who did? According to the myths, it is said that a god blessed the sword in our time of need during the Time of Subtle Wars, when the Thunder Keeper was first created.

Appearance

Thunder's Eye is known for distinctive carvings and engravings. From what is known, these depict various scenes that the Thunder Keeper played a large role in during the Time of Subtle Wars. Some of these scenes include a fight in the Great War and Thunder Keeper's assistance during the Clamor of a Thousand Howls. Most of these carvings stand out from the blade because they are accented in gold.
The handle of this great sword is also known for gold, but has a rubber grip wrapped in black leather.

Sightings

While Thunder's Eye is considered to simply be a mythological weapon used by a mythological character, there have been various reported sightings throughout history. While most of these sightings are considered fake (as one werewolf even claimed that he was a reincarnation of the Thunder Keeper), some sightings do match the description of the sword. One investigation even brought back evidence that, while the sword was not found, the location where it was reported has an indent the size of Thunder's Eye, and some of the carvings even printed onto the malleable clay there.
