Rune-Edge

is an item in Bastard's Wound.
==Description==
A viciously-sharp bronze blade raggedly-engraved with primitive sigils of some long-forgotten Archon, Rune-Edge came into the possession of House Helos of the Bastard Tier before the rise of the Bastard City. When the Helos family fell to avaricious House Dermecian, one of their champions claimed Rune-Edge as a trophy of war. Since then, it has changed hands no fewer than twenty times, appearing prominently in the histories of several wars between the various kingdoms of the Tiers.
Less than a century ago, importer Norastus Bephos of Azure purchased the sword, only to have his granddaughter sell it to the merchant prince Rostrom Vorus two decades past. Vorus kept the axe prominently displayed in his mountain estate, and he boasted often that Rune-Edge would claim the head of any Kyros-sucking northerner who dared try to oust him from his home.
He did not count on the inevitable northern invader being Cairn.
