Decades ago Typeren was forged by the Elves at Riwalin Spire.  It
was one of their first weapons and easily one of their best.  Its
blade holds a powerful, complex Rune of Sharpness known only to
Elves.

Shortly after its forging the blade acquired a dark reputation.
The first Elf to wield the blade was a young Elven warrior, Typeren
of the Tangryne Spire.  He owned the blade only a few weeks before
the Spire was assaulted by a ravenous pack of Wargs.  This attack
came in the days when no Silent Vale sheep flocks satiated Warg
hunger.  Many Elves died in the attack, but in the midst of the
fray was brave Typeren.  He fought like no Elf has ever fought in
history, perhaps like no Elf ever will.

He slayed several Wargs, fighting fiercely to defend his people,
but in the end he was slain and ripped to pieces.  In his final
moments the power and intensity of his purpose impressed itself on
the blade.

The blade was found by the maiden Raenthrea, who has kept it ever
since.  She named the blade Typeren Warg Slayer and has watched it
consume one wielder after another.  The blade has an intense desire
to kill Wargs.  It only allows itself to be drawn by those it thinks
are up to the task.  Once it chooses a wielder death is only a
matter of time.  It seems the blade is a magnet for Wargs as it
croons to them on moonlit nights.

If the wielder is slain the blade always return to Raenthrea one
way or another.  There is wild speculation as to the cause of this,
but only Raenthrea knows the truth: Typeren's spirit guides the
blade to her.  Knowing the history of the blade, she is sad each
time a new wielder takes hold of it.  She consoles herself with
the thought that the Elves need defenders any way they can get
them.
