The {{Lore Link|Ice Blade of the Monarch}} is called one of {{Lore Link|Tamriel}}'s most prized artifacts. Legend has it that the evil Archmage {{Lore Link|Almion Celmo}} enchanted the claymore of a great warrior with the soul of a Frost Monarch, a stronger form of the more common {{Lore Link|Frost Atronach}}. The warrior, {{Lore Link|Thurgnarr Assi}}, was to play a part in the assassination of a great king in a far off land, and become the new leader. The assassination failed and the Archmage was imprisoned. The Ice Blade freezes all who feel its blade. The Blade goes from owner to owner, never settling for long.{{ref|name=TL|{{Cite book|Tamrielic Lore}}}} The {{Lore Link|Nerevarine}} reportedly sold it to the [[Lore:Mournhold|Mournhold]] Museum of Artifacts in {{Year|3E 427}}.{{ref|name=Tribunal|Events of [[TR:Tribunal|Tribunal]]}}<noinclude>
