Wuuthrad

Wuuthrad is a powerful battleaxe that was originally wielded by Ysgramor, the legendary leader of the Five Hundred Companions, during the Nordic-Falmer War which took place across much of Skyrim and Solstheim in the Merethic Era.
Wuuthrad was forged by Ysgramor's son, Yngol, the day after the Night of Tears. Legend has it that when Ysgramor left Saarthal, his tears of grief were made of pure ebony, which Yngol used to forge this axe. Yngol heated the tears with lightning and then cooled them in the ocean, and the result was a great axe forged from Ysgramor's own wrath and sorrow. Yngol gifted the axe to his father, who named it "Wuuthrad," meaning "Storm's Tears" in the Atmoran tongue.Songs of the Return, Vol 5
Ysgramor wielded Wuuthrad during his conquest of Skyrim, using it against both his Elven foes and against the Giants. He held a legendary battle with the giant Sinmur who had sent many of his Companions to Sovngarde. During this battle, Ysgramor used Wuuthrad to destroy the giant's club, and then lodged the axe into the giant's skull.Songs of the Return, Vol 27
In 2E 582, Thallik Wormfather of the Order of the Black Worm shattered Wuuthrad and used its power to fuse himself with the spirit of Sinmur.Events of Shattered Hopes The Worm Cult tried going after the shards, as they could still be used to hurt Sinmur.Events of Stomping Sinmur Shards of Wuuthrad turned up in places like Lost Prospect and Forelhost, which may or may not have been collected and used to defeat Sinmur one final time.
By 4e 201, Wuuthrad was still shattered into fragments, several of which are displayed in the Companions' mead hall of Jorrvaskr, until they were stolen by the Silver Hand during the Companions' questline.Events of , Companions questline
