Winter's Howl

Winter's Howl is a Wintersteel greatsword  and an heirloom of House Stenwulf. It is used by the current head of House Stenwulf, Edward and is used for battles and ceremonies alike and will be passed down through generations as an heirloom.

History
Winter's Howl was a greatsword forged in the Forge of Frostfall, an ancient cave that dates back to the First Days. In the cave rests an ancient forge that is well preserved and still functions to present-day.

The sword itself was forged by Baelor Stenwulf 5000 years ago when he had first founded Winterborne and the North. It was made out of Wintersteel, a strong material that is only found in Frostfall. Wintersteel itself is an enchanted metal of a sort, it causes the blade to not dull over time and keeps it as sharp as when it was first forged.

Every King from Frostfall has used this blade, in battles and in ceremony. It was once seized by House Balaire in an attempt to usurp the throne and strip some power from House Stenwulf, due to it being an heirloom of Stenwulf, however it was taken back by Yjorlund Stenwulf around 400 years ago during the Day of Autumn.

Edward Stenwulf is the current holder of the blade. He used it in the Battle of the Grey Plains and executed Stephan Balaire with it, only a year ago.
