Liebensrächer was a special weapon forged under the orders of Arch Chancellor Alexander I after the death of Emperor Allestrain I. Struck with black rage at those who had killed his beloved, Liebensrächer was a physical manifestation of that anger in the form of a number of holy blade created for the Second Nordskagger War. It was ultimately a briefly used blade, as Alexander I died fighting the local Velheim, and the Knight who wielded it died with him, but the sword was recovered alongside their bodies. This is a Knight Collectible, obtained as a gift from the rank-up process, for the Character Kurt Erhardt.
Appearance
A normal sized sword, Liebensrächer is notable for its blessing by the Unionist faith, as well as its intense design. The silvered blade guard is in the shape of a roaring, or perhaps, screaming, Dragon, with a Blacksteel blade emerging from between its open jaws. There are spikes along the guard as well, so that one can get considerably rough with an opponent, or disarm attempts can be turned back on the enemy party. The pommel is thick, and has been stamped on both sides by a Unionist eye.
Permanent Mechanics
Liebensrächer is a Unionist Collectible Legendary Artifact. As an Artifact, there are several rules associated with Artifact Ownership, see Artifact Page. It also provides the following Specials:
Vengeance: Liebensrächer's eyes glow gold with the wrathful blessings of Allestrain when the wielder is fighting a Fornoss devout or raiding a Fornoss Temple. When it is marked by their blood, Eronidas scripture and careful gilded detailing becomes visible spiraling up the flat of the blade, only to disappear again when it is cleaned off.
