Journal

The Iron Greatsword is a devastating weapon favoured by the most powerful warriors. The strongest garou warriors wielded them in battle against goblin invaders, turning armies of green-skinned soldiers into nothing but viscera.

When the dragons turned on their allies, the Greatsword was likewise turned on armoured scales. Several dragons underestimated the power of such a weapon in the hands of a skilled wielder. Garou thanes tore young dragons to pieces, wearing their bones in victory.

This made them clear targets for older dragons. Velgar, a mighty general, marked those wearing dragon bones for death. He crushed them first, brutally and swiftly. Their strength shattered beneath his claws or swallowed in an instant.

The practice of wearing bones quickly fell out of favour.
