Description:
Created by her grand grandparents to defeat the threat of Vinterbound, who were the craftsmen of Midvinter whose crafting skills were known by the galaxy, this sword is thought to be touched by the Gods because of it’s ability to be flammable, although some of the people strongly disagreed and that people believed it was a result of alchemy, which was not that common in the Valkyri terms, and which was the accurate theory since they actually used alchemy to achieve this. According to the stories that has been told over generations in her family, it took generations to perfect the sword and make it the way that it is today, and even with the technology the Midvinter has today, the craftsmen could not create a sword that is similar to this one. Since there is only one, the old King of Midvinter gifted the sword to the family, with a promise that it would be used by the ones who really deserved it. From that day, the sword changed owners, by winning a tournament between the ones who had potential to become the new owner of the sword, as the old one no longer had the strength to wield it. Ylva won the sword after killing most of her siblings and cutting the limbs of the surviving few.
The sword is designed not to burn the hands of the one that wields it, so that the owner is comfortable enough when using it. As for advantages and disadvantages of this weapon, the sword is very effective against the Vinterbound, whose weakness is the fire itself. Also it works well against the beasts, creatures and that kind of species that are roaming in the wild, especially the ones that are scared of the fire. The sword has some kind of resistance to the lightsabers due to its nature being created by the alchemy, yet, the sword is still weak against lightsabers, energy weapons and anything more technological than itself in the long run. And deflection of blaster fire is impossible using the sword.
