It was the fifth mission Levine was tasked with, The Fjord’s Whale, where she acquired her famous blade. In the midst of her pilgrimage to the Aerialands, she stopped to rest for the night in a rural town she encountered. With her previous blade having become dulled and brittle, she commissioned the town's young and inexperienced blacksmith to forge her a new sword. Nervous; he accepted her offer, but kept doubting himself on the sword’s quality during the process of making it. The following week, the young blacksmith handed Levine her sword; upon doing this however, the blacksmith realized how suddenly impressive the blade’s quality was: The metal; stronger than any steel. The weight; in perfect balance. It’s durability; able to breathe life into itself for centuries of war. The blacksmith, perplexed, asked how such a poor blade could suddenly turn perfect. Levine simply answered: “T's but a matter of dignity.”
