Cleaver of St. Felms

Saint Felms the Bold’s fire cleaver from Ghosts of the Tribunal, carried by Vesparth the Toe.

The Cleaver of St. Felms is the weapon of Saint Felms the Bold, one of the warrior saints of the Tribunal Temple in Morrowind. The Ghosts of the Tribunal Creation brings it to Solstheim as a war axe that burns and steals magicka at the same time.

How to get it

Vesparth the Toe carries the cleaver at Ashfall’s Tear on Solstheim, the stronghold of the Ghosts of the Tribunal quest (reached from the Raven Rock area). You have two options:

  • If you side with the Tribunal and Vesparth becomes your follower, you can take it from her by trading.
  • Otherwise, loot it from her body.

Enchantment

Each hit burns for 30 points of fire damage (targets on fire take extra damage) and absorbs 25 points of magicka. A double enchantment like this is rare on a war axe.

Stats and handling

14 base damage at a weight of 17 – more than a Dwarven War Axe. It uses the One-handed skill.

Smithing

Improve it with a Dwarven Metal Ingot. It needs Arcane Blacksmith, and Dwarven Smithing doubles the improvement.

Strengths and weaknesses

  • Strength: two useful effects in one enchantment.
  • Strength: cheap Dwarven tempering.
  • Weakness: getting it peacefully depends on the side you pick.

Tips

  • Spellswords love it: hit with the axe, refill magicka, cast with the other hand.
  • Recharge often – two enchantments drain the soul charge faster.
