xiphoid: sword shaped (thanks Phrontisery!)
Swords. They're pretty cool. It seems like almost every book I read has a "legendary" one in it. For example:
Zar'roc and Brisingr (from the Inheritance trilogy)
Anduril (from Lord of the Rings)
(and others....)
I wonder what it would be like to see a wine red sword, or one with as much history as Anduril. Oh well, I guess I'll never find out (unless Inkheart is real). And now, for the prompt!
Describe the scene around this sword. Why was it abandoned there? Was there a big, decisive battle before it was left leaning on a rock? Does it have special abilities? What is the history behind its name (you'll have to come up with that too, if you wish to)?
