The wielder of this sword is given a fierce, and demanding look in their eyes. Especially when around aberrations, as its steel sears their flesh, burning away their impurity.
This sword was said to be forged from rare metals found with a meteorite that struck the British Isles many centuries ago.

In his old age it’s said that he travelled into a cavern and died by impaling himself with the weapon.
This Artifact can be used as a sword / axe. It is roughly at least twice as large as a sword / axe and cannot be concealed on your person or disassembled for storage.
