Tearweld

Tearweld is the ancestral sword of The Lindphel Family, a storied weapon carried into every major battle the family has fought since the First Mourning, when the mortal realms first rallied behind the gods. Though not the most powerful sword in raw magic, its legacy carries immeasurable weight — both spiritual and political.

Forged in the heart of Myrrhold's first forge from steel soaked in the blood of the fallen and the tears of survivors, Tearweld’s edge is not just sharp—it is a blade that remembers grief. It was named by Wilfer Lindphel’s ancestor, Elion Lindphel, after burying an entire battalion of soldiers under his command. Since then, the sword has symbolized sacrifice, leadership, and the burden of command.
