Fangsword of the Ice Wolf
The Fangsword of the Ice Wolf is a relic of the Space Wolves.[1]
The earliest tales of Leman Russ speak not only of Morkai's defeat at the hands of the Wolf King, but also those of his dread lieutenants. The creature known as the Ice Wolf was amongst the most fearsome, but it too was slain by Russ in a terrible battle and cast into the Wolf’s Eye. In the wake of the deadly struggle, all that remained of the Ice Wolf was a sword-like tooth embedded in Russ’ leg. It is testament to the Primarch's fortitude that he survived, for the blood of a lesser being would instantly have been frozen by its chilling touch. Russ ordered the fang forged into a blade so that its power could be used to battle the Allfather’s enemies. Named Svellbrandr – Fangsword of the Ice Wolf – this sword can slay the hardiest foes with but a single blow.[1]
