Torment is a Daedric longsword added by The Cause Creation. It looks almost exactly like the Daedric Longsword from Morrowind, and the lettering on the blade reads “PUTREFACTION”.
How to get it
The Dremora Valkyn Methats wields Torment in the Deadlands, the realm of Mehrunes Dagon, during The Cause. Defeat him and take it from his body.
Enchantment
Burns the target for 30 points of fire damage, and targets on fire take extra damage.
Stats and handling
18 base damage at a weight of 16. According to UESP, it has the highest base damage and the longest reach of any one-handed sword – well above a Daedric Sword. It uses the One-handed skill.
Smithing
Improve it with an 
Ebony Ingot. It needs Arcane Blacksmith, and Daedric Smithing doubles the improvement.
Known issues
- It can lose its entire soul charge.
- It may hang incorrectly on weapon racks.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Strength: best-in-class damage and reach for a one-handed sword.
- Weakness: fire is resisted by many Daedra – including those in the Deadlands.
Tips
- Carry it out of the Deadlands and enjoy it against everything else.
- Its sister weapon from the same Creation is Scourge.
