Around about the start of the Second Chaotic Period, a large number of weapons began to appear with unique names and the suffix "of the Undying Age". Each had a name something like "Rylmekal, Sword of the Undying Age", or "Bnammer, Hammer of the Undying Age", over three thousand unique named weapons have been documented, and it is believed as many as three times that may have once existed.
Every weapon had similar, especially powerful enchantments and a clearly similar design aesthetic. Of particular note is the metal, which is grey to black with wavy white lines going through it. Some weapons had modified components, such as axe handles and sword hilts, but the metal components are clearly made by a common hand.
The weapons became highly sought-after by fighters of all kinds, and had an odd tendency to show up in the most unusual places.
