"Cullonwyn labored for many years, delivering to Ulluvinor and his knights six swords of exquisite crafting; his greatest work. Six elven blades made from liannar, the sun-metal."[1]

The Teeth of the Dragon are a legendary set of magical elven swords spread across Orden. Most of the Teeth have been lost in time. As a result, very little is known about them.

The Teeth

"Now lost to legend, the six swords were…"

The Teeth are the subject of a legend that says there are six swords, but this legend is probably incorrect. Other sources say there are eight swords, but this itself might also be untrue.

Legend of Six Swords

Deneb – The Sword of Dreams

Rigel – The Sword of Fate

Arcturus – The Sword of Stars

Arcturus was one of the Teeth owned by Lady Sariel. Its current location is unknown, as Sariel did not appear to possess it at Blackbottom.

Arcturus was previously owned by Nekodemus, but he found it difficult to wield as the magical blade appeared to reject being used by a creature with orcish ancestry.

Gemini / Canopus – The Sword of Truth(?)

Part of Matt's reddit post elaborated that this sword was really called Canopus, and may not be the "Sword of Truth" as legend indicates

Orion - The Master Sword

Orion was one of the Teeth owned by Lady Sariel, it was destroyed by Ajax the Invincible during the battle at Blackbottom. Magical weapons refuse to harm the wielder of Orion.

Narada – The Sword of Darkness

Legend of Eight Swords

"Time corrupts the legend. There are not six swords. There are eight. The fourth sword’s name is not Gemini but Canopus. And there are two further swords, now lost to the mists of time."

Uriel – The Sword of Dawn

Scorpius – The Sword of Lies

Forged long ago for the elven bard Cullwich, it was once owned by the bard Alejandro,[2] but was given along with Arcturus, to Lady Sariel in exchange for Lord Saxton. Since her apparent death, it's location is currently unknown, although it was likely taken by Ajax after the destruction of Blackbottom.

Behind the Scenes

The Teeth of the Dragon were originally created by Jim Murphy, friend and sometime GM to Matt Colville. Matt borrowed the concept and name for his home game. Jim Murphy's Teeth of the Dragon have different names and are covered in some of his YouTube videos.

He has not codified what all of the Teeth of the Dragon's properties are, as he prefers to customize them to suit the players who find them. Scorpius, for example, had properties chosen to suit Alejandro de Modesto, Anna's character at the time.[3]
