Stormbringer

Nodachi of Life-Stealing

The Stormbringer is an enormous Arkalan greatsword, or nodachi, with a long, slender, and elegantly curved single-edged blade. Originally forged by Caelam Zefer Heartstone using a set of old smith's tools that formerly belonged to Taranis Sköll, it was infused with his residual Thunderous Smite energy as well as Caelam's own Fighting Spirit. After encountering the "dragon", Pikyr, and surviving its game, the creature granted Caelam's request to further enhance this weapon. The nodachi was swallowed by Pikyr and "hatched" from the resulting egg. The sword emerged imbued with the creature's magical energy, forcibly and permanently binding itself to the young samurai but granting it the ability to transfer the life force of its victims to its wielder.

Materials & Components

This weapon was originally constructed of reforged Arkalan steel sourced from the original pair of longswords that Caelam was wielding when he arrived on Idriell. After being consumed by Pikyr and hatching from one of its eggs, it is now made of some unknown metal with magical properties.

Tooling

Stormbringer was originally forged in the fires of Blue Blazes Metal Works and Engineering using a set of smith's tools that were previously charged by the Thunderous and Divine Smite energy of Taranis Sköll from use in his other works.
