A Sample from Strongblade Lore - Engraved Swords & Tankards
Knights sometimes used swords to engrave people's flesh. That's not what we're talking about. In the Middle Ages, a knight's faith was in his sword. No, literally, it was "in" his sword. Knights would have blacksmiths engrave sacred words on their blades. Words from their favorite prayer, the name of a patron saint, or simply the name of Jesus Christ. What do you have faith in? What favorite words or symbols will you put on your blade? A religious quote? Your family crest? Lyrics from a Bobby McFerrin song? It doesn't matter. Strong blade's custom engraving can add just about anything you want to your blade, usually for only $15 or less!
