Axes of Alicea.

This is a sketch of Alicea's axe(one of them, they are identical). It's a typical Howling Axe clan stye, and motif. The motif being that of a howling wolf, thus the clan's name. They are named 'Onkai(fury)' and 'Welvae(wind)'; Which one is left and which is right never could be told as most Nielda are somewhat ambidexterous.

Alicea crafted her axes from the finest available materials, Ga-Vok steel and imported wood. It's one of the few weapons in the Daniellandish collction at the imperial reliquary not made of Kraj. It is also one of the few examples of Traditional Ga-Vok blacksmithing still surviving today.

The Axes are not of exceedingly high quality, Alicea forged them herself and she was not an experenced blacksmith. The enchantments however are on par with those of the seven black blades of Anatolia. They enhance the speed, strength, and reflexes of their wielder to levels not normally possible even by magic, this in part due to their being a pair. To wield one would make you quite formidable in and of itself, but with both in hand a properly trained warrior can easily reach heroic levels.

Alicea wielded these axes for the entirety of her life, and they were never far from her side. No other warrior would wield them again. She left them, along with several hundred other artifacts and ten king's ransoms in silver(A king's ransom having been established in 853BU as about five times the GDP), to the empire with instructions to establish a pubic reliquary. That reliquary would become known as the Imperial Reliquary, and most of the Nielda's greatest treasures have been displayed there at some point. The Gascan branch of the Reliquary is named in her honor.
