Coinspinner: The Sword of Chance
Who holds Coinspinner knows good odds,
Whichever move he make,
But the Sword of Chance, to please the gods,
Slips from him like a snake.

Doomgiver: The Sword of Justice
The Sword of Justice balances the pans
Of right and wrong, and foul and fair,
Eye for an eye, Doomgiver scans
The fate of all folk everywhere.

Dragonslicer: The Sword of Heroes
Dragonslicer, Dragonslicer, how d'you slay?
Reaching for the heart in behind the scales,
Dragonslicer, Dragonslicer, where do you stay?
In the belly of the giant that my Blade impales.

Farslayer: The Sword of Vengeance
Farslayer howls across the world
For thy heart! For thy heart! who hast wronged me,
Vengeance is his who casts the Blade,
Yet he will, in the end, no triumph see.
Farslayer's Page Farslayer At Amazon.com
Woundhealer: The Sword of Mercy/The Sword of Love
Whose flesh the Sword of Mercy hurts has drawn no breath,
Whose soul it heals has wandered in the night,
Has paid the summing of all debts in death,
Has turned to see returning light.
Woundhealer's Page Woundhealer At Amazon.com
Mindsword: The Sword of Glory aka "Skulltwister" and The Sword of Madness
The Mindsword spun in the dawn's grey light,
And men and demons knelt down before,
The Mindsword flashed in the midday bright,
Gods joined the dance, and the march to war,
It spun in the twilight dim as well,
And gods and men marched off to hell.
Mindsword's Page Mindsword At Amazon.com
Shieldbreaker: The Sword of Force
I shatter Swords and splinter spears,
None stands to Shieldbreaker;
My point's the fount of orphan's tears,
My edge the widowmaker.
Shieldbreaker's Page Shieldbreaker At Amazon.com
Sightblinder: The Sword of Stealth
The Sword of Stealth is given
To one lonely and despised;
Sightblinder's gifts: his eyes are keen,
His nature is disguised.
Sightblinder's Page Sightblinder At Amazon.com
Soulcutter: The Tyrant's Blade/The Sword of Despair
The Tyrant's Blade hath no blood spilled
But doth the spirit carve,
Soulcutter hath no body killed,
But many left to starve.
Soulcutter's Page Soulcutter At Amazon.com
Stonecutter: The Sword of Seige
The Sword of Siege struck a hammer's blow
With a crash, and a smash, and a tumbled wall,
Stonecutter laid a castle low
With a groan, and a roar, and a tower's fall.
Stonecutter's Page Stonecutter At Amazon.com
Townsaver: The Sword of Fury
Long roads the Sword of Fury makes,
Hard walls it builds around the soft,
The fighter who Townsaver takes
Can bid farewell to home and croft.
Townsaver's Page Townsaver At Amazon.com
Wayfinder: The Sword of Wisdom
Who holds Wayfinder finds good roads,
Its master's step is brisk;
The Sword of Wisdom lightens loads
But adds unto their risk.
