Though its origins are a mystery, Chrysamere's creation had to occur sometime after the invention of claymores by the Highland Bretons.

## History

*"Chrysamere, the Paladin's Blade and Sword of Heroes, is an ancient claymore with offensive capabilities only surpassed by its defenses. It lends the wielder health, protects him or her from fire, and reflects any deletory spells cast against the wielder back to the caster. Seldom has Chrysamere been wielded by any bladesman for any length of time, for it chooses not to favor one champion."*
―In-game description[src]
### Arena

Chrysamere, a scribe in Alabaster, a port city in Elsweyr, found a clue related to the location of Chrysamere. The location was inscribed on a tablet somewhere in Elsweyr. The Eternal Champion found this tablet, and with its help, recovered Chrysamere from the province of Morrowind.*[citation needed]*

### Daggerfall

Later on, the sword came to be in possession of the Hero of Daggerfall, either after they slew an ancient lich during a mission for the Iliac Bay's Knights' Guild, or granted as a gift from Gortwog for giving him the Totem of Tiber Septim.

### Morrowind

The Nerevarine was asked by Varus Vantinius, the Knight of the Imperial Dragon in Vvardenfell, to bring him the sword from the sorceress, Draramu Hloran, who dwelt in Abanabi Cave. The Abanabi Cave can be found southwest of the city Sadrith Mora, Vvardenfell, Morrowind. In order for the Nerevarine to become a Knight of the Imperial Dragon in Vvardenfell, they had to fight Vatinius in a duel. After defeating Vatinius, the Nerevarine recovered Chrysamere and the Lord's Mail from his corpse.

### Skyrim

Chrysamere reemerged around 4E 180, when the Warrior came across blade during their journey. Sometime afterwards, the blade was wielded by a Nord warrior known as the Lost Paladin, who died with the blade at Forelhost in Skyrim. In 4E 201, the paladin's spirit was encountered and slain by Freydis Strong-Blade who then claimed Chrysamere.
