Dawnfang/Duskfang is one sword with two distinct varieties (Think two faces of the same coin). Starting at dawn (6AM), the player wields
Dawnfang, but upon nightfall (6PM), it changes into
Duskfang. Every sunrise and sundown, when the blade is replaced, the weapon's charges and health will be completely restored.
Dawnfang has an orange-hued stone set in the hilt. Orange hues are closely related to
Mania in the
Realm of Sheogorath suggesting a connection between Dawnfang and Mania. Conversely, Duskfang has a blue-hued stone, the color of which is related to
Dementia. It can be duplicated using the scroll method and only the original changes Duskfang can only be duplicated at night
This sword is awarded after completing the quest
Baiting the Trap.
[edit] Properties
Value: 162 - 5046
dependant on what level the sword is gained.
Weight: 19 - 47
dependant on what level the sword is gained.
[edit] Effects
The blade has
leveled charges ranging from 250 - 3600. Uses range from 50 - 80.
[edit] Nourish Blade
Dawnfang/Duskfang keeps track of creatures killed, displaying the text "Dawnfang/Duskfang has extinguished X lives." (X being the number of creatures or NPCs killed, much like
Mehrunes Razor.) Once the quota of "twelve lives extinguished" has been met and the sword's bloodthirst is satisfied, the next incarnation will be
Superior, adding the effect of
Absorb Health if it is
Dawnfang Superior, and
Absorb Magicka if it is
Duskfang Superior. Failure to nourish the blade fully reverts it to the normal version with the next incarnation.
