Kring was a magical sword with the ability of speech. A black sword forged from thunderbolt iron (meteoritic). It has highly ornate runic inscriptions running the length of its blade with a slight nick two-thirds of the way up. A couple of rubies set within his pommel. Kring speaks to it user in a voice like the sound of a blade scraped upon a stone. Kring would really wish to become a ploughshare rather than a sword. Once owned by Hrun the Barbarian. Present location unknown. Maybe he got his wish.
