Mending Einhänder

Mending Einhänder gleams with a pale, tempered steel that catches the light like a moonlit blade. Its edge is razor-thin and cool to the touch, etched with jade vines along the fuller, as if the metal remembers every repair. The hilt is wrapped in worn leather that smells of rain and old oath, and at the pommel sits a tiny enamel rune—half gear, half leaf—symbol of the Menders who tempered this blade to mend weapon and wearer. When you lift it, you sense the weight of careful craft and a whisper of lore: that the Einhänder was forged not merely as a weapon but as a tool to bind the broken, to sew fissures in armor and in hope. In the deepest archives, scribes claim the blade was tempered by a field medic who carried it into sieges, using its edge to carve clean seams in armor and to knit wounded morale. That lore isn't poetry here; in play, the Einhänder channels a soft restorative pulse that steadies allies and refreshes healing when the fight tightens. Some builds describe it as a bridge between offense and care, letting a veteran gyre between strike and mend without breaking the rhythm of battle. Market winds and the cadence of caravans carry the Einhänder's reputation to Saddlebag Exchange, where traders mutter about stone-etched price tags and the risk of a blade being drawn from a clutch of torn pouches. In Saddlebag Exchange's stalls, I learned its price is volatile—steady gold for those who coax the blade to sing, variable as caravan routes for quiet-eyed bargains. A veteran trader told me that demand from healers' circles and support-focused builds keeps the price fluttering, and that scarcity follows every run to the eastern forges. So hold it is to feel a decision: spend in hope of a brighter battle, or pass on, letting it drift to someone who needs it more. So the Mending Einhänder remains not only a weapon but a story kept in steel—a reminder that in a world of clashing orders, some things are meant to be stitched back together. In my hands, it seems to carry the quiet oath of every healer and rider who has ever chosen mercy over ruin, and in the air around it there is a promise that repair can still outlast ruin. May this blade keep teaching us that gaps are not endings but seams waiting for a stitch. On a dusk-lit night I watched a small party test its mettle in a shattered outpost, a healer guiding the Mending Einhänder through slow passes over torn banners and scorched pauldrons. Each sweep breathed pale green light that stitched rips in leather and steadied a faltering teammate, while the blade hummed with a patient cadence that felt like a heartbeat among the group. In those moments, the weapon became less a tool of consequence and more a covenant—a promise that wounds could be restored and a ruined fort remembered and rebuilt. The effect in combat was subtle yet undeniable: a longer window for retreat, a safer grip on a fragile lead.
