Sunder is one of Kagrenac’s Tools, the Dwemer artifacts used on the Heart of Lorkhan in Morrowind. The Sunder & Wraithguard Creation brings it to Skyrim together with the gauntlet Wraithguard.
How to get it
The quest Legends Lost begins at the New Gnisis Cornerclub in Windhelm. Follow the lost caravans, use the Attunement Crystal at Sightless Pit and defeat the Messenger in the Sightless Vault to claim Sunder.
Enchantment
- 5 points each of fire, frost and shock damage.
- 15 points of stamina and magicka damage.
- With Wraithguard equipped: +15% one-handed damage and +50% stamina regeneration.
Stats and handling
15 base damage at a weight of 18, above a Dwarven Mace. It is a mace, but it swings with war-axe speed, stagger and animations. It uses the One-handed skill.
Smithing
Improve it with a
Dwarven Metal Ingot. It needs Arcane Blacksmith, and Dwarven Smithing doubles the improvement.
Known issues
- It may disintegrate targets.
- Its fury effect may be tagged as fire damage.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Strength: hits every element plus stamina and magicka.
- Strength: set bonus with Wraithguard.
- Weakness: each element on its own is small.
Tips
- Always wear Wraithguard with it – the set bonus is the real reward.
- Good against enemies with resistance to one element, since it never relies on just one.
