Swordbreaker Item in The World of the Centurions | World Anvil

Swordbreaker

Swordbreaker is a Centurion Langes Messer sword that has unusual properties/abilities because it has been exposed to the fresh blood of two different dragons (the Red and the Black). It is a smoky purple color. It has engravings on it in its sides in a geometric pattern and an engraving of a cross near the hilt on each side of the blade. These engravings stand out in a lighter shade of purple from the rest of the sword. It has a large nagel and a medium sized pommel (large for a messer).

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The hot, fresh dragon's blood has given it a unique tempering. Being constructed of altum steel it was already harder than any other steel known to man. The tempering made it even harder so that it will cut through other steels, even altum steel like butter. It also feels slightly warm at all times which cannot be explained.

Manufacturing process

Forge the blade from altum steel and then use it to kill two dragons.
