This object cuts the tail off of a hawk after its owner realizes the true identity of a figure who asks him a riddle.
This object cuts the tail off of a hawk after its owner realizes the true identity of a figure who asks him a riddle. A courtier who once tried to take this object was slain by tafl-playing woman disguised as a man. It was transferred from its first owner to its second alongside the first owner's daughter Eyfura. This object was found beside a dead man on a hill of flowers by Orvar-Odd, who attempted to bury it after the first of its three great evil deeds. The last of those deeds happens after this object's final wielder leads the (*) Goths to victory over the Huns. Heidrek owned this sword after eleven brothers of one wielder all died, and after him ownership passed to a younger Argantyr. Created by Dvalin and Durin, this object notoriously could not be unsheathed without claiming a life. For 10 points, name this eponymous sword from a cycle in the Poetic Edda, named for an appendage that the Norse god of war only retained five of after an encounter with Fenrir.
