The Pale Blade is a unique, leveled Ancient Nord Sword found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

AcquisitionEdit

The Pale Blade can be looted from the body of Ra'jirr after he is killed by the Pale Lady in Frostmere Crypt.

Choosing to place The Pale Blade on the pedestal nearby will appease The Pale Lady and she will leave. However, picking up The Pale Blade again will cause her to reappear. In order to keep the weapon, The Pale Lady must be defeated.

SmithingEdit

The Pale Blade can be upgraded with a Steel Ingot and the Arcane Blacksmith perk at a grindstone. It also benefits from the Steel Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

LevelsEdit

The damage, weight, value as well as the magnitude of the enchantment are based on the level the Dragonborn is when the sword is obtained. The best possible version is available at level 27.
