"... There exists a story in the nordic culture, that tells the tale of a great nord warrior of old, no one ever knew the true name of this man, but folk usually called him Verdant, for his might in battle was incomparable, being sturdy and strong as an Oak, but in person being kind and serene as the wind that blows the leaves, and thats how he got his nickname.

Verdant was a black haired nord, he had very long curly hair, his body was muscular but not very tall, always being a very friendly man, he made a lot of friends wherever he went in his journeys.

In one of those, during a mercenary job to recover an artifact from an ancient ruin, he met 4 warriors, that later became his best friends to the rest of his life.

Those were: 

Erik, The Giant, an absurdly tall redguard.

Bernard, The Loyal, a long haired Breton.

Venancy, The Strong, an extremelly muscular dwarf.

Paul, The Smooth, a very pompous and polite redguard.

Together they went through every situation imaginable, from the worst, to the best, but always together.

One day, Bernard, in honor to the friendship and great person that Verdant was, decided to forge him an axe that would transpire the qualities of his friend, using oak for the grip, and a extremelly rare and strong metal in Tamriel, meteoric iron, a very sturdy metal that rarely falls from the stars.

And using his knowledge in magic, extracted an small amount of Verdant's living aura to the axe, blessing it with his qualities, now having the burning wrath of a dragon, the will and relentless of a sabercat and the mind and intellect of the flying eagles in the skies.

What happened to the group of warriors and friends after many years is unknown, the only fact that is know by the nord people, is that Verdant passed on his axe through his generations, until it was lost in time and passed to legend..."
