I can't remember what the book description said, but I picture it the same as the Heron mark sword: curved blade, v-shaped crossguard, two-handed handle. Except made of crystal. That last part may be tricky for a modern smith

yeah i ended up deciding to have longship make me callandor in cpm 3v steel with bronze fantasy fittings that are not 100% decided on yet, still deciding between wire grip or some fire themed Raffir Noble. probably gotten have some fantasy elements to the blade to be similar to callandor to make it similar to the final book cover

I really love these WOT swords www.fableblades.com/WOTSwords.html

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
