It is not certain what happened to the jarl afterwards, though persistent rumours tell of him wandering the land, a beggar stripped of all his possessions. His son, however, grew up to become a mighty warrior, wielding the sword in many a battle, and calling upon the spirit of the wolf to strike down many an opponent. Eventually, or so the tale goes, he returned to his home, and in the woods the wolf spirit possessed him and took his life, fulfilling the prophetic visions. The pommel is fashioned as a wolf's head made of gold with rubies for the eyes. The blade is of a strange metal that is normally a pale white in colour, but when wetted turns black.
Blood grooves line the blade.
The handle is made of bone wrapped in white wolf fur with a silver chain. The legends concerning the sword are well-known by most skalds, and they will recognise it on sight. Since it is possessed by the spirit of the white wolf it gains additional powers. It can communicate with it's wielder through limited empathy, though it rarely does. It is of neutral alignment.
