Ancestral sword

http://www.hot.ee/gorefinder/relic/ancestral.jpg

Sword made by ancestors of Metsamees clan. It creator(s) are unknown, but it is known that it was made by the Metsamees clan. The sword is sayd to be over 500 years old. There are tales of how it was made, but they are but speculations. One thing has been confirmed is that, the sword is bound to the Metsamees blood. In the hands of any one with Metsamees blood, the sword will never dull, rust, bend or break. But in the hands of any other, it becomes a normal sword, and will rust and dull as easely as any other sword. Even if there is nothing but a hilt left of the sword, once a person with Metsamees blood within him/her holds it, the sword will regenerate itself. The runes enscribed on the sword, is sort of a short poem, or a sayng, but have no special function. They read: From hardship comes power from power comes freedom -- and on the other side -- Life is not a birth given right life is a precious gift to be protected constantly
