The Sword of Gravalan was held for many years by the Wizard of the Lake. The sword is made of bronze, but as strong as steel. The tip can become white hot if the hilt is twisted correctly, but the sword stays dark even when in this state. The sword was made long ago by skilled crafts-people, perhaps the Dwarfs. However, Gravalan is the name of the Goblin hero who defeated the Portal thousands of years ago, when the Goblin civilisation was at a peak of sophistication and culture, conveniently forgotten by the Men of Khul.
