+ wraithworld awaits those who dare.
+
+The Broken Sword 'Narsil'
+ These are the shards of the mighty blade of Isildur, which deprived the
+ dark lord Sauron of The One Ring of Power. Legend has it that the sword

+ me in Nogrod."

+ one flashed this sword with Anduril during a battle long ago. Legendary
+ are its powers in the rallying of desperate troops.
+
+The Long Sword 'Herugrim'
