Recall

Ah! This is one of the copies of the legendary weapon 'Snowfang.' Created during the reign of the Emperor Seromond by the magesmith Finolkym, it was the pinnacle of enchantment. Snowfang was made completely of snow and ice but retained the strength of steel, and was capable of taking the form of any bladed weapon. Additionally, it could be invoked to emit a powerful frost blast at will.

This particular blade, however, is likely one of the duplicates created by Finolkym after being commissioned by the Emperor to arm his Telo'Getha. The copies didn't have nearly the power of the original, but still the magesmith was intent on creating weapons of excellence. Obsessed with finding the purest ice for his weapon crafting, Finolkym relocated to Meshor, where he set up a special forge. He managed to create four of these remarkable weapons a year over the course of fifteen, but when a staggering fifty percent of them were lost in a single shipwreck, Finolkym committed suicide.

If this sample came from the lost shipment, the original finder might have the others, too.
