The Lore of Rídhíol

Within the ancient forests of the old country, where gnarled roots run beneath soil steeped in legend, there lingers a tale of two brothers – sworn to avenge their family's blood. One was a sword of vengeance. The other, a blade of wrath.

For it is said that “grief, shared by kin, is tempered into a bond no blade may sever”. With these words as our guide, we set out to craft a pair of lightsabers that mirror each other in spirit, yet are aesthetically distinct.

We chose the Krosgaard and the Sologaard as our canvases. On the Krosgaard, the quillon emitter sleeves were encircled with ornate triangular plaits. Just beneath, the switches are framed in radial patterns, all descending into a grip section enveloped in woven pillars.

For the Sologaard, its emitter was crowned with triangular knots that bloom into crescent panels, and below the switch band is wrapped in an interrupted lattice. Further down, the grip was adorned with curved arcs – like frozen waves – all converging on an iconic emblem that serves as the visual centerpiece of this hilt.

For their color, we stained the grips in a deep, earthen hue to give the impression of petrified wood. This organic motif was contrasted with diverse silver textures, and the hilts were given a comprehensive weathering so that each weapon looks as though it was pulled from the soil of a forgotten battlefield.

And to display such artifacts as they deserve, we crafted a custom saber workbench. Its silver border bears a cybernetic plait, while the deep copper center is flanked by rows of alternating triquetras – a throne fit for these Legendary lightsabers.

In the end, the myth of the brothers is a story of unity forged through loss – two warriors bound by grief and an unquenchable thirst to avenge their bloodline. To honor this bond, the Sologaard was named “Rídhíol” – the Sovereign Reckoning – and the Krosgaard “Ríastrad” – the Battle Frenzy.
