In ages past, the titanic watcher Keeper Odyn betrayed the sorceress Helya, killing her and twisting her spirit into a spectral Val'kyr. He forged this pair of swords for the mightiest of his storm-forged Valarjar, but Helya stole the swords and infused them with a portion of her rage. She then gave them to her own champion, who used them to hunt the greatest of heroes and drag their souls away to serve in Helheim. These swords stir their owner into unrelenting and punishing attacks that overcome a target's defenses and leave no opening for counterattacks.

Artifact Book Text

Odyn's Fury, Helya's Wrath,
Warswords of the Valarjar

Keeper Odyn believed the natural creatures of this world were too weak, too soft, and too short-lived to be trusted. You have already shown him his folly, and none of us has any doubt that you will continue to do so.

Now you will carry Odyn's prized weapons in defense of Azeroth. Go forth and forge your legacy.

Warswords of the Valarjar, Part One

Keeper Odyn was inspired to create an army of titan-forged champions, the Valarjar, and set them to protect Azeroth against the multitude of threats he knew it would face. But his dream was thwarted, and his Valarjar were contained for thousands of years.

Before Odyn was imprisoned, he crafted two blades. They were meant to aid the greatest among the Valarjar.

Instead, they fell into the hands of his enemies.

Warswords of the Valarjar, Part Two

In ancient days, Odyn oversaw the creation of the Halls of Valor, a sanctuary for the spirits of the mightiest vrykul who had given their lives in glorious battle. He had led the armies of the Pantheon against the Old Gods, and he knew there would always be a need for brave, fearless champions to face the forces of evil.

The most talented blacksmiths among the vrykul were asked to create weapons and armor for these peerless warriors. Keeper Odyn was awed by the work of one smith; his shields were light and strong, truly astonishing in the hands of a skilled fighter.

Odyn asked him to try something new. "Focus not only on mere defense," the keeper said, " but also on the poetry of aggression."

The smith heeded Odyn's words and soon presented the keeper with two of the finest warswords ever made on a vrykul forge. Odyn did not merely accept them; he blessed them with his power.

Odyn hung these warswords in the Halls of Valor and let them motivate the Valarjar, his champions. "These will be carried into battle by only the greatest among you," Odyn said. "So go, then. Prove yourself worthy."

It would be many years before someone rose to the challenge.

Warswords of the Valarjar, Part Three

The first-and-only Valarjar to carry these weapons into battle was named Ingvar. He was a renowned fighter when he was alive, and a legendary warrior after his death.

Always aggressive, Ingvar led a raiding party to investigate a cave that seemed to be dripping with dark magic. Inside they found something terrible: a pack of creatures that had been corrupted by the Old Gods. When the Old Gods' war against the titan-forged had been all but lost, C'Thun quietly lashed out worldwide, seizing the minds of whatever the entity could touch.

Ingvar and his comrades were frighteningly outnumbered. But they did not run. Most of the vrykul fell in minutes, but Ingvar remained standing. Though badly wounded, he fought his way through the cave and destroyed every enemy inside.

After his last breath, the Val'kyr Helya sent his spirit to the Halls of Valor, where Odyn welcomed him with open arms.

Warswords of the Valarjar, Part Four

Ingvar's death had been a noble sacrifice that resulted in victory against incredible odds. Keeper Odyn declared him a paragon among the Valarjar and bestowed upon him these warswords. In times of great peril, Ingvar was always the first to lead the Valarjar into the fray.

But all too soon, his acts of heroism came to an end.

When Odyn had set out to realize his vision for the Halls of Valor and the Valarjar, he had needed to create Val'kyr, spirits capable of preserving worthy souls for all time. Helya had not been interested in becoming a Val'kyr. No one had volunteered, in fact. Odyn had transformed her and others into Val'kyr against their will.

For many years, Helya had no chance to seek vengeance. When the opportunity arose, she took it without hesitation.

Warswords of the Valarjar, Part Five

Keeper Loken had fallen under the sway of madness, but he was clever. He knew Odyn and his Valarjar would be formidable enemies, so he approached Helya with a proposition. He would break Odyn's control over her; in exchange, she would trap Odyn and his champions within the Halls of Valor.

Helya's anger burned deep within her, and she accepted. The plan worked almost flawlessly. Odyn was entirely unprepared for Helya's rebellion, and he and nearly all his Valarjar were neutralized, confined to their sanctuary in the sky.

Only a few Valarjar were outside of the Halls of Valor when Helya attacked. One of them was Ingvar.

He took these warswords and immediately retaliated, hoping to defeat Helya and free Odyn.

Warswords of the Valarjar, Part Six

As a Val'kyr, Helya had tremendous control over the spirits of the deceased. Champion or not, Ingvar understood that he was facing a fight he likely would not win.

But he had these warswords, imbued with Odyn's power. There was no one else to make the attempt.

Ingvar found Helya and tried to strike her down. In his hands, these swords nearly overwhelmed her. But in the end, she overpowered his spirit and smote him into oblivion. His swords fell to Azeroth, among the few Valarjar artifacts that were not trapped within the Halls of Valor.

Helya kept them as a memento of her victory over Keeper Odyn.

Warswords of the Valarjar, Part Seven

Over several millennia, Helya claimed as many souls of slain vrykul as she could, and her ranks of Kvaldir--corrupted, undead vrykul--continued to swell.

Helya began to go after the souls of not just the heroic vrykul dead but also the living. Any vrykul who seemed poised to learn the truth about the conflict between Helya and Odyn became a target, and she had her Kvaldir slay them with ruthless efficiency.

She started to raise her own champions, the Helarjar of Helheim, and she had them search Azeroth for her enemies.

Warswords of the Valarjar, Part Eight

Any spirits that ended up in Helya's care suffered greatly. Helheim was torment for vrykul heroes, who found themselves transformed into Kvaldir even if they had been worthy of entering the Halls of Valor as Valarjar.

Many of these vrykul became more dangerous in death than they had been in life. Empowered by Helya and afraid of disappointing her, they zealously obeyed her commands.

Eventually, one of these Kvaldir caught Helya's attention. Vigfus Bladewind distinguished himself in battle against vrykul, and Helya decided that he was worthy to bear these swords for all time.

What better way to end the lives of Odyn's faithful than with two of his prized creations?

Warswords of the Valarjar, Part Nine

Vigfus Bladewind used these swords to kill many vrykul heroes over the years. Helya even committed some of her own power into the blades, just as Odyn had. Not only did their lethal potential increase, but they made it easier for Helya to claim their victims' souls.

In truth, it is her power that makes these weapons truly magnificent. Her power, laced with her hatred, crashes endlessly against Odyn's spirit. The tension between those energies will forever permeate these blades, threatening to overwhelm whoever carries them into battle. A single lapse in the heat of combat could result in oblivion.

Never forget that.

Warswords of the Valarjar, Part Ten

Helya's champion, Vigfus Bladewind, carried these weapons for millennia, spilling untold amounts of heroic blood.

On occasion, Helya would test him to see if he was still truly worthy of her favor. She would give him unwinnable fights. Sometimes she would make him battle other exceptional Kvaldir, or she would order him to raid vrykul settlements without any help.

With these weapons in hand, he never failed.

Warswords of the Valarjar, Part Eleven

In the moments before Bladewind's destruction, he asked Helya for aid. She granted it to him, pouring even more of her spirit into these weapons. A measure of that extra power remains, and it will for all eternity.

These weapons were forged to assist mighty warriors who fight without fear. They turn bloodlust into power, and only one with an indomitable will can hope to control them. If they are ever wielded against Azeroth again, the world may not survive.

If they are used to defend it, the world may never fall.

I am happy to see that we as Berserkers are given the signature weapon of any furious combatant - The Axe. I would like to see some more axe appearances but at least all of the swords are badass in their own right.

Comentario de Dugzilla

Has anyone notice that the swords from the side looks like a dragons head

Comentario de Freyan

Is ANYONE happy with these? I hate the look of them so much on my main that I'm ready to transmog them away forever and it's only day one. When they're sheathed they clip into the ground and make it look like fire's coming out of my butt. It sucks to start Legion on such a sour note.

Comentario de Kurias

Acquiring them was fun. I prefer axes but these will do for now. Has anyone else noticed that they seem to be one two handed weapon and not two weapons? I was checking stat gain/loss from equipping them and you cannot equip one of them without the other. Not sure if this will result in any actual stat loss or not. According to the tooltip if I could equip one of them with an earlier weapon I get a stat increase but when I tried to do this it unequips the war swords.

Comentario de robff

Any news on how to get Helya's Gaze Skin?

Comentario de Malmortis

I was fighting trash up to Ursoc Heroic and I got a message:

Odyn whispers: Well done, Valarjar.

Anyone ever gotten anything like this? Think it means anything?

Comentario de Donguarde

Anyone else notice the hidden appearance looks like Gorehowl? Maybe they originally wanted to make Gorehowl an artifact and this is all that was left.

Comentario de ns88

I use these (the purple version) on one of my warr alts. For some reason, every other day in the character select screen, the left hand sword is not showing any xmog. I need to login and logout to fix it, then it happens again in a day or so. Very annoying. Only happens with this xmog, doesnt matter what actual weapon I use, it's related to this xmog it seems.
