Lore
"Runes glow along the length of this mighty blade. King Maric, father to King Cailan, bore it in his battles against Orlais."
Maric Theirin discovered this blade in the Deep Roads during the Fereldan Rebellion. He offered to return it to the dwarves but King Endrin Aeducan insisted Maric keep it. The blade eventually passed to his son Cailan, who left it behind at Ostagar while leading his troops into battle — a decision that cost him everything.
