Prize item for Hunt for History.

an ancient invar claidhmore

Show:
The handle on this claidhmore is wrapped in blackened leather which is a bit ragged at the edges. The metal on the blade shows signs of wear, pockmarks in some places, and tiny bits of rust in others. Engraved near the handle of the blade is a small scene of a dwarf holding a claidhmore over his head readying to attack a giantman holding a hammer at his side. Under the engraving is written one word, "Sunfist."

Loresong:

A deep voice begins to sing,

"The clans had gathered on a sweet late spring eve, And prepared to tell some stories they'd weave."

The voice continues on with the song,

"There were stories told of groups of huge folk near, The scouts came back and said, "They're here!""

The voice sounds excited as it continues to sing,

"The giant folk that come and play, Are in the dell not far away."

The voice quiets some as the song continues,

"The dwarves that eve crept up the hill, Next morn they gathered all their will."

The voice booms out, continuing the verse,

"They charged the giants, running down to fight, With clamors and shouts at first light."

The voice continues to sing,

"The battle raged for days on end, Both sides fought with vigor again and again."

Sounding tired, the voice sings on,

"They fought for weeks, then months at a time, Little rest did they get, come rain or shine." Almost weeping, the voice continues on,

"Neither side was losing; there was slim hope, That the war would be won on this little slope."

Sounding lighter, the voice sings,

"The warlords stopped the fight on a late summer day, They talked in hushed tones about the best way,"

The voice continues with its light verse,

"To end this battle and it was agreed, That they would have drinks and feed."

Softly, the voice winds down some,

"Thus the two tribes, the dwarf and the giant, Became battle brothers no others would supplant."
