Creation and History
Fuyushimo was crafted by King Eremon Mordos, who above all is an unparalleled blacksmith and enchanter, as an eternal symbol of his love and admiration for Yukino.

The creation of Fuyushimo was a monumental task, taking years of forging and imbuing the weapon with divine enchantments. Eremon poured his soul into its creation, ensuring that it would not only match Yukino's strength and grace but also endure as a testament to their bond. The axe's Forever Frost Enchantment was sealed using the essence of a primal frost elemental, ensuring its eternal potency.
The weapon was presented to Yukino on the eve of their union as husband and wife, a gesture that solidified their partnership both on and off the battlefield. It has since become synonymous with Yukino’s legend, standing as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the unbreakable bond between them.
