Skarn-Ska is a double-edged sword with a jewel encrusted hilt, created by Lord Ardan and Rimoah for Lone Wolf's use in The Curse of Naar. It was crafted from a golden alloy and shimmers brightly. It was tempered in a spell fire and is imbued with old kingdom magic. It will never lose its keen edge. Its name means "Wolf's Blade" — it was created specifically for Lone Wolf to wield it.
Effects[]
The sword adds 5 to Combat Skill (8 vs. Kekataag the Avenger). It is also mentioned that Naar was reluctant to manifest himself while the sword is unsheathed because of the possibility of Skarn-Ska wounding him.
Behind-the-Scenes[]
Lone Wolf can only acquire Skarn-Ska if he does not possess the Sommerswerd, in which case Lord Ardan and Rimoah offer him the weapon early in The Curse of Naar. It is present so Lone Wolf could have a weapon effective against Naar's more powerful followers in case the reader had not obtained the Sommerswerd. The New Order series presumes Lone Wolf wields the Sommerswerd, although "The Purifiers of Kazan-Oud" does refer to Skarn-ska being forged.
