Historical Background

Dragvandil was the sword of Egil Skallagrimsson, a Viking skald and the great anti-hero of Icelandic literature.

Several accounts tell of him slaughtering as many as 20 or more armed men single-handedly and even dispatching a feared berserker with relative ease. In spite of this, he was considered a healer, and his saga tells of him curing a girl who had been ill for quite some time where all other efforts had proven futile. In some ways he resembled his god Odin: breaking his oaths, killing for trifles, and practicing sorcery.

His curative ability could explain the MND+1 on this, and the fact that he's from Iceland could explain the Iceday hidden effect.
