Sword of Odin (Magic Sword)

During a banquet one day, a mysterious stranger (Odin in disguise) brought this gleaming sword to the Volsung's hall and plunged it into a living tree, saying that whoever could remove it could have it. Only the hero Sigmund could pull it free. He later used it to avenge a terrible wrong done to his family, then passed it on to his son, Sigurd. Sigurd made good use of the weapon, using it to slay the dragon Fafnir and rescue the Valkyrie Brynhild from her imprisonment in a ring of fire. Unfortunately, the sword seems to have been lost after Sigurd's death.
The sword of Odin is a dragon slayer, forged by the dwarfs of Asgard for the purpose of slaying red dragons. While the sword is normally a +3 weapon, against these terrible beasts it becomes a +5 weapon and does triple damage. The sword of Odin also shields its bearer against fire damage, whether normal or magical. It can only be wielded by one of lawful good alignment.
