Scalebiter is a legacy weapon forged by the dwarves in the age of the Empire. The dwarves later crafted what is now known as the Sword of Roele, and Scalebiter was gifted to the line of Avan. The scions of Avan still bear Scalebiter and know its powers and legacy rituals, though these are generally secret, especially the legacy rituals.
