Description: A blade whose name comes from the magic sword used by a dwarf from Norse mythology. Said to have originally belonged to a king descended from the gods, the weapon has been passed down from owner to owner, each of whom is believed to have met an untimely death. Even imitations are said to bring its wielder unshakeable bad luck.
Etymology[]
In Norse mythology, Tyrfing, or Tirfing, is a cursed magical sword from Norse mythology, said to cut through any material as easily as cloth and to be incapable of missing a swing. King Svafrlami forced dwarf smiths to create the weapon, but in revenge they cursed it to kill a man each time it was drawn and to be the cause of three great evils, and also to have the power to slay Svafrlami himself.
Trivia[]
- Tyrfing in Soulcalibur V is similar to the sword used by Conan in the 1982 and 1984 films, Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer, respectively.
