M is for Mt’wan Comraich

For the letter "M," a different kind of character--an inanimate one, but something that still was important to Lord Branin Llewlyn of the Dragshi Chronicles and Kedar of the novella, MAGIC AND STEEL from the collection First Change: Legends From The Eyrie.

Mt’wan Comraich translates to Protector of Mt'wan. An appropriate name for an enspelled weapon. The village name is an homage to a town I spent many years associated with. (More on my relationship and the town can be found by going over to the dark side.)

The origin of Mt'wan Comraich is told in the novella, MAGIC AND STEEL. Although it looks like a normal blade, it is forged with dragon fire. From the various books of the Dragshi Chronicles, we know one aspect of Mt’wan Comraich is that only one man in a generation can wield it. The sword's magic enhanced its bearer's own native strength and allowed him to fight for hours.
