The Tyrfing（ティルフィング Tirufingu）was the sword of the Crusader of Light, Baldo in Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. In the game, only characters with major Baldo holy blood can wield it, meaning the only playable characters that can wield it are Siglud and Celice. The Tyrfing has 30 might and gives +10 Skill, +10 Speed, and +20 Resistance to its wielder. Because of the huge resistance the Tyrfing provided, as well as its 30 might, it makes defeating enemy mages much easier, even making it possible to defeat Yurius without the use of the Naga spell. Due to this, Celice (and to a lesser degree Siglud) is often regarded as a mage killer when equiped with the Tyrfing.

Etymology

Tyrfing or Tirfing was a magic sword which figures in a poem from the Poetic Edda called Hervararkvioa, and in Hervarar saga. The name is also used in the saga to denote the Goths and the form Tervingi was actually recorded by Roman sources in the 4th century. It is a cursed sword that eventually leads to the death of the wielder and kin.

Trivia

• It can be noted that Tyrfing bears a strong resemblance to the Falchion.
