W.W.WakizashiLike other exotic blades of Akaviri design, the wakizashi is an elegant and refined single−edgedversion of the more common double−edged → longswords of Western design. Because theweapons themselves are rare, and few smiths know how to make them, they are not common in →Morrowind.War AxeA bewildering variety of one−hand axe styles are found in → Morrowind. The spiked → chitinwar axe favored by → Ashlander and → Great House → Dunmer is in some ways more like a →mace than an axe. The → steel war axe is double−bladed; the → iron war axe is single−bladed; the→ glass, → ebony, and daedric war axes are single−bladed with balancing spikes.War of the First CouncilThe first government of all → Morrowind was called the First Council, comprised ofrepresentatives from all the → Dunmer → Great Houses. This First Council mobilized to suppressa civil war. A rebel house, House → Dwemer, joined with → Nord and → Orc clans to invadenorthern Morrowind. The rebels, invaders, and a traitor house, House → Dagoth, were finallydefeated and destroyed at the Battle of → Red Mountain.Lit.: Nerevar at Red Mountain (TEST I 2 : 543). The War of the First Council (TEST I 2 : 1131).Ward of AkavirIt's an enchanted → shield made from the skin of a dragon. The → Legions hold this priceless →artifact in high regard.Warlock"I'm a warlock. I have bound myself by oath and deed to the service of a → Daedra lord, and inreturn have received gifts of knowledge and power. The → Temple calls my patrons the → badDaedra, and perhaps they aren't very nice... but I guess I'm not very nice, either. If you are curious,and not afraid, I can tell you a little about the bad Daedra and → Daedric summonings."Warlock's RingThe Warlock's Ring of the Archmage Syrabane is one of the most popular relics of myth and fable.In Tamriel's ancient history, Syrabane saved all of the continent by judicious use of his Ring, andever since, it has helped adventurers with less lofty goals. It is best known for its ability to →reflect spells cast at its wearer and to improve his or her → speed and to restore health. Noadventurer can wear the Warlock's Ring for long, for it is said that the Ring is Syrabane's alone tocommand. The → Museum of Artifacts offers 11,000 gold for it.Lit.: Famed Artifacts of Tamriel (TEST I 2 : 352).217
