Properties

All of the weapons properties except the name are randomly generated.

Attributes

Material – Can range from Iron to Daedric.

• Type – May be a sword, greatsword, battleaxe, war axe or mace.
• Enchantment

Appearance

The weapons appearance matches that of a generic weapon of the same type and material. The weapon will also bear a colored glow and pattern appropriate to the enchantment.

Acquisition

The Blade of the Pale is awarded by the Jarl of Dawnstar, Skald the Elder (or Brina Merilis) after becoming an honorary Thane. To become Thane the following conditions must be met:

• Completion of "Waking Nightmare."
• Completion of the miscellaneous quest: "Kill the giant at the [Radiant location] giant camp" for the Jarl.
• Assisting the people of The Pale.

Smithing

This weapon is semi-unique and may not be crafted, however an identical version can be crafted with the generic material and a matching enchantment applied. The weapon may also be titled with the same name during enchanting.

The upgrade material is dependent on the material that the weapon was generated with.

Trivia

• This weapon serves as the badge of office for the Thane of the Pale.
• If a reload is performed and the weapon is retrieved again, it will be the same. This means that there are unknown factors determining what weapon is generated. At higher levels iron is surprisingly the material of the weapon.
