Fjorglimt
Fjorglimt is Risar Stormborn's named sentient sword. The name means or evokes fjord-light or lightning over the fjord, matching Risar's storm and thunder imagery. It is a straight, double-edged Viking sword forged from sky-forged steel, with a broad blade etched in coiling knotwork and ancient runes that glow electric blue when the weapon hungers for battle. The pommel is a snarling blue dragon head with twin sapphires for eyes. Leather wraps the hilt in the old style of Risar's grandfather, the great warrior who carried it through storms and giant-kin wars.
