Audbjorns Chained Great Sword

The Chained Great Sword of Audbjorn

Background:

Audbjorn was a king long ago that ruled over the 5 tribes of Njord, he wielded a large weapon that had barbed chains rapped around his arms that could allow him to throw his great sword at any foe and pull it right back to him. Many of his people believed him to be a god, and if not a god, but a man that wielded a weapon created by the gods themselves. This weapon can't be wielded by the faint of heart. The blade and the king became lost to time as it becoming history and as the centuries past becoming a legend and an old myth told by the tribes that were growing more distant from each other due to the loss of there king and the weapon, with many believing the blade will never be found to restore and bring the five tribes under one banner and with a king to rule them into a new age.

Kings Blood Attunement Info:

Those that have the blood of the ancient king and are the descendants of Audbjorn and die in combat within close proximity of the blade and it hasn't been attuned yet by a giant, the blade will come to life binding itself to the player/user as the chains wrap around the player hands saving there life bringing them back from death at 5 hit points(As the blade wishes to save the life of those related to Audbjorn and no one else). If the blade is being used by an enemy or a player and someone with the kings blood dies in close proximity to the blade, the chains wrapped around them will tighten tearing through there skin taking 20hit point of damage to aid the person with the kings blood to bring them to life using the blood of the one that wielded the weapon to heal the person the blood of the other user to 20 hit points. (This doesn't mean that the blade will save you a second time if you die this is a one time use)
