 This saber bears the mark of Shining Fortune, the blacksmith of the gods. Shining Fortune’s weapons were so finely crafted that the gods forbade him from creating weapons for anyone but them. When his son was enlisted to subdue the barbarians from the west, however, Shining Fortune forsook his oaths and forged this marvelous saber for his son. The gods cursed Shining Fortune for breaking his oath, and he was never again able to produce weapons of any worth. Still, the blade he made for his son never experienced defeat. It was truly Fortune's Favorite.
