: For Hank & Michael : I just reread Trey of Swords and found the following on pages 63 and 68 of the Ace edition: : The Sword "Ice Tongue" found by Yonan (Tolar) is also known as the "Sword of Lost Battles" and leaves Yonan in Torgi's cave. Whereabouts now unknown. But it is identified as one of the Four Great Weapons on page 63. We are also told on the pages mentioned above that the Ax of Urak also known as "Helm Biter" is one of the Four Great Weapons but Urak keeps it. So, I think Michael is right on his point and we HAVE TWO DOWN. I hope someone can come up with the identity of the other remaining. : Richard

Hi, In 'Ware Hawk near the ending Uruk gestures to Nirel, the Falconer, and says "...any man who carries one of the Four is a shield to the are...Welcome, you to whome Basir's Tongue gives willing service." From that I gather that Basir's Tongue is one of the Four Swords of Power. Now....who the heck was Basir? The weapon, which is not quite a full sword and definitely not a dagger, came to him from the ruins of the Eyrie as Nirel and Tirtha were crossing the mountains to Hawkholme. Basir's Tongue appears to disintegrate after striking the chest of Rane, a servant/adept? of the Dark.
