The Forge Journals

In the crumbling, storm-swept ruins of Farum Azula, a power far older than the Erdtree endures. It is the power of the ancient dragons, masters of lightning, and it is a power that can be held in a Tarnished's hand. For those who have walked the path of the Dragon Knights, one weapon stands as the ultimate symbol of that elemental fury: the Dragonscale Blade.

This katana is a paradox—an elegant blade infused with the raw, untamable energy of a storm. Recreating it was a journey into the heart of ice and thunder. Before you read on, we invite you to witness our cinematic tribute to this legendary weapon.

More Than a Katana: The Legacy of the Dragon Knights

To understand the Dragonscale Blade is to understand its former masters. The Dragon Knights of Farum Azula were warriors who, through devotion or conquest, gained a measure of the dragons' strength. They didn't just fight alongside dragons; they sought to become them. This blade, said to be carved from a shard of gravel stone, is the pinnacle of their art.

Its most iconic feature, the "Ice Lightning Sword" skill, is what truly sets it apart. It allows the wielder to summon a bolt of frozen lightning—a terrifying and beautiful fusion of two opposing elements. This isn't just a weapon; it's a conduit for a lost and ancient power. The distinctive purple sheath, wrapped in metallic dragon scales, is not mere decoration; it is a mark of honor, a signifier that its owner has communed with the storm itself.

From Farum Azula to Your Forge: The Art of the Replica

Bringing an artifact of such elemental power into the physical world required a fanatical attention to detail. This 26cm (10.2 inch) replica is perfectly scaled for display, and its substantial 112g (4 oz) weight immediately conveys its quality.

We chose a high-quality zinc alloy to ensure every minute detail was captured with precision while providing the satisfying feel of real metal. Our artisans worked tirelessly to perfect its most iconic features:

• The Sheath (Saya): The vibrant, metallic purple finish is designed to catch the light, while the individually rendered dragon scales along its length provide a stunning tactile and visual contrast.

• The Blade (Nagasa): The blade itself is deceptively simple, with a clean, elegant curve. But its power lies in its potential, a canvas for the storm. The fuller (or "bo-hi") is crisp and defined, true to traditional katana design.

• The Hilt (Tsuka) & Guard (Tsuba): The design of the hilt and guard is draconic and bestial, with sharp, aggressive lines that mimic the claws and horns of an ancient dragon, a constant reminder of the weapon's savage origin

This is a collectible forged for those who hear the call of the ancient storm.

Curating the Storm: Display and Integration Ideas

A weapon of this elemental beauty deserves a stage that complements its story. Here are a few ways to create a scene worthy of a Dragon Knight:

• The Icy Sanctum: As seen in our cinematic, surround the replica with elements of a frozen landscape. Faux snow, jagged rocks (like slate or granite), and a few scattered blue crystals can create a stunning diorama that looks like a piece of Farum Azula on your desk.

• The Minimalist's Choice: Place the sheathed katana on its included stand against a dark background. The stark contrast will make the vibrant purple and metallic scales pop, creating a powerful and elegant statement.

• The Collector's Armory: Position it alongside other iconic Elden Ring katanas, like the Hand of Malenia or the Meteoric Ore Blade, to create a visual showcase of the different schools of sword mastery in the Lands Between.
