The Narrative
In the shadows of the world-tree, where the heat of Muspelheim meets the iron of the earth, a blade of true power is born. The Ember of Muspell is a 40.5-inch masterwork, hand-forged from Damascus folded steel—a process where our smiths hammer and fold the metal to purge impurities, creating a blade of relentless character. This ancient artistry produces a unique, rippling grain pattern that dances across the steel like the flickering tongues of a great fire. Fully functional and battle-ready, this Shinogi Zukuri blade features an integrated Bohi (blood groove) for lightning speed and the whistling song of a true warrior's strike. Whether for the rigors of cutting practice or the honor of the collection, this sword is forged for those who live by the Sovereign Standard.
The hilt (Tsuka) is wrapped in genuine ray skin and real navy silk, secured by twin bamboo Mekugi to ensure the blade never fails your grip in the heat of the fray. Every fitting, from the high-quality Japanese iron Tsuba to the hand-polished hardwood Saya, is crafted to command respect in any Mead Hall or armory. Accompanied by a protective black sword bag, The Ember of Muspell is the definitive choice for a gift to a Shield-Brother or a treasure for your own hoard.

The Care
To keep the rippling steel of The Ember of Muspell from the clutches of rust, you must treat it with the reverence of a king’s ransom. After every use or handling, the blade must be wiped clean with a soft cloth to remove the oils of the skin. We strictly forbid the touch of water; should the blade grow damp, dry it at once with a warrior's haste. Apply a light coat of protective Choji oil or mineral oil every few weeks to keep the Damascus pattern clear and the edge keen. Store your steel in a dry place, safely within its wooden Saya, so that its spirit remains untarnished until the horn sounds for battle.
