Baardensang was commissioned by Emperor Cedromar as a gift for a specific person, however this person soon disappeared, and the weapons were left carelessly abandoned by the side of the road somewhere in a box. Baardensang are two weapons, one longsword and one arming-sword sized spata, both made out of Blacksteel with intricate Old Gods and Unionist symbolism on the blade itself, as well as a green tassel. The symbology implies Unionism burning down Old Gods symbology, however the depictions could be interpreted in many different ways. Baardensang remains unfound again, after it was lost by the previous owner, rumored to be somewhere in Regalia, to be found by someone in their deepest state of miserable disappointment. Rumor has it the original intended recipient of Baardensang was a Viridian Knight, but in the absence of its intended owner, the weapon was instead used in a pivotal moment during the charge of the last Viridians in the Lo Occupation.
Appearance
Baardensang is not a single weapon, but two, one being a longsword and the other being a shortsword, both with similar designs and inseparable, as some unseen force keeps these two weapons together. Both weapons are made of Blacksteel with a brilliant silver shine, silver engraving, and green leather binding and tassels. It is said that Baardensang sings together, with both swords swung in unison producing beautiful wind-chime like sounds.
