About:
Shalamayne, The Shadow Reaver, the prestigious sword of King Varian Wrynn from World of Warcraft. This had been requested a number of times over the years and I finally had some free time to create it. I tried to keep it similar to the original model from the game, as opposed to creating the versions from concept and fan art. Shalla'tor and Ellemayne are currently not included as I don't have the time to create 3 whole swords, however they may be introduced at a later date.
Appearance varies based on ENB Preset & Game Settings. It is recommended to NOT have ENB Lens enabled. Also, you don't have to like World of Warcraft to use them!
Dual Sheath Redux Compatible!
