Yoshtursheg

History

The blade was initially owned by an illegitimate son of the emperor, who became a blacksmith and forged it out of a meteorite that landed near the river area of his prefecture. The meteorite was a meteorite of Wontus, The Element of Metal, and so was the first blade that harnessed the full potential of the meteorite. The blade, however, was lost when the son was killed by a large water snake (A water dragon that cannot fly). The Snake was killed by the Witch of Lightning and Storms and given to his sister the Witch of the hearth to keep it. After 100 years, the Witch of the hearth decided to give it to the emperor, and it became one of the royal treasures like Kusanagi no Tsurugi. The blade was then given to the Shogun/Tursog called Oasi Dakded as a symbol of protection but also authority.

Significance

The blade was said to have cut entire mountains in half, and apparently, it could be proven by a nearby mountain filled with ores which was naturally split in the middle, but this was at the hands of a god rather than a human. The blade in it's regular form however was a symbol of authority and protection that both the Emperor and Shogun had

Raw materials & Components

The blade is made out of an asteroid's metal. Unlike most magic weapons whose runes are made from pins made from those metals, Yoshtursheg is made out of pure metal directly from the asteroid, giving it extra potency. Now blades aren't made from pure asteroid metal, as this is against the law. The sword's handle is wooden with a cobalt tsuba (Crossguard) and Fuchi-Kashira (Pommel), as, in this culture, it is more valuable than gold. The handle is covered in stingray skin from the nearby coast, which is dyed black for its importance.

Tools

To make the tool, the blacksmith had used the standard tools of the blacksmithing trade. Hammers for the forging, a source of heat for the fire, thongs to pick up the blade, a grindstone to shape and sharpen the blade, and an anvil to lay the blade on.
