The Forsworn Axe is a war axe in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Characteristics[]

"Nord skulls make the best axes. 'bout the only use they're good for."
―Forsworn at Lost Valley Redoubt[src]

It is a crude, but deadly weapon consisting of a wooden handle with a sharpened stone blade bound to it with sticks and sinew. In damage, it can be compared to a Dwarven war axe.

Locations[]

  • Found in various Forsworn camps, and in the wild country side of The Reach
  • One or two axes can be found on Forsworn since they often dual-wield.

Smithing[]

The Forsworn axe cannot be crafted, but it can be upgraded with a steel ingot at a grindstone and also benefits from the Steel Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

Trivia[]

  • A unique Forsworn axe called Briarheart Geis bears an enchantment that deals five points of extra damage to Nords, however, it can only be obtained through console commands.
  • Due to the axe's make, the sharp sticks used to steady the stone blade would actually prevent the blade from reaching the target; they would be stabbed by the sticks instead.
