not sure which I like best) and request that the dragonborn reforge the blade and purge Barend/Bjorn's soul from it, giving him revenge at long last. He will detail his betrayal by his once friend and fellow companion Barend (or Bjorn. When the dragonborn picks up the broken blade, the ghost of a Breton "battlebard" companion named Madadh will appear. If the quest is activated outside of Ysgramor's Tomb, it will put a map marker for the tomb, leading the dragonborn there. The backstory associated with the quest has been suppressed for centuries, so it must only be a hint or a rumor of what happened. It is also possible that it could be activated by a random encounter with a bard, like Tsalgar the Wanderer ( ) or by a book hidden somewhere in Jorrvaskr. Thus, the quest can be activated by picking up the handle and blade even if you're not doing the Companions quest. The majority of the tomb can only be accessed as part of the Companions quest, but the foyer area (with the handle and blade) is always accessible. These items have intrigued me from the first time I saw them and I have often wished there was a story or quest associated with them.

The quest involves the "Broken Iron Sword Blade" ( ) and "Broken Iron Sword Handle" ( ) which are both found in Ysgramor's Tomb ( 's_Tomb) Northeast of Winterhold. It just needs someone to put it together. I think I've thought of everything it needs (with generous portions of help from TheEggKing). This has the potential to be a really cool quest.
