The Dainsleif Sword

#Drabble Drop: Effective
In Viking mythology, there was a ruthless warrior King Hogni of the Norse lands, who had commissioned a mighty sword to be crafted by the dwarf named Dainsleif. It was said to be the most powerful sword of all in the land with magical powers.
King Hogni had a motto that every opponent must die at his hands by his mighty sword if they challenged the king. This was very “effective” keeping away local tribesmen.
Occasionally, a foreigner from distant lands would think themselves mightier than the King. That didn’t end up very well at all for the “adversair mort”.
