tried to convert this from being strictly an animus mod to being the Sword of Eden included in Glyph 5 as this also appears in The Forgotten Saga; overdue but probably could use some more touching up, hard to write about given its only instances are glyph, mtx, and rogue-lite dreams; removed BTS as honestly the two aren't similar as this is a hacking almost kopesh like sword compared to the slashing sabre like sword in lotr; need to see if stats for the weapon are different between mtx and dlc

History

Around the 6th century a figure thought to be Odin, disguised as a beggar, plunged a Sword into a tree called Barnstokkr, stating that whomever was able to pull it free would receive it as a gift. Only the warrior Sigmund proved able to do so, and subsequently claimed the Sword as his own.[2]

According to legend, his son Sigurd would later on use his father's sword to slay the dragon Fafnir.[3]

In the late 9th century, the shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir, jarlskona of the Raven Clan and host to Odin's genetic memory, relived a distorted version of his life via drug-induced dreams. Gram appeared in these visions as Odin tried to rescue his son Baldr from Niflheimr.[4]
