So.. about that sword?
That’s about right. Last we heard of Magdaer Eir was going to send it off- we don’t even know for sure she was going to give it to Beigarth, just that she knew a blacksmith who could repair it.
Season 2 introduced a new element, though. Rytlock seems convinced that Magdaer caused the curse, so it’s Sohothin’s role to end it. If that’s the case, they might not intend to bring Magdaer back into the story at all. Just one more loose end left behind.
R.I.P., Old Man of Auld Red Wharf. Gone but never forgotten.
I actualy believe it comes back into play at some point.
Unfortunatly, as it stands right now, only for a sacrifice.
I don’t know. The whole ordeal always had that undead army from Lord of the Rings vibe and the one who will wield the sword may be the one to charge and die with it.
And as there are human ghosts in Ascalon and the story points to Logan (who for some reason can still be connected to be of royal lineage, like if they made Gwen the result of an affair for example… but that’s going too far maybe).
Which could also explain a bit of Rytlocks secrecy. Maybe he knows about the sacrifice part and doesn’t want his buddy to do so.
Anyway, just some two second thoughts here.

For my part, if Magdaer is the one sword responsible of the Curse while Sohotin is the cure, I think that the first shall be destroyed to put an end to the curse.
Or it may as well be reforged in one unique sword with its twin sister. If you mix a cure with the ill, then the ill disappears right? That’s second thought comes with the blacksmith part but it is a bit too far and somehow a bit illogical maybe.
Or the sword may be left at all and no story about Magdaer (not really sure the idea is cancelled)
@astragal
you can’t have a complete chapter in both PS and LS2 about the curse of ascalon and the sword and then suddenly completely drop it..
That would be one of the jerkiest things for anet to do
Maybe they are setting the stage for a new Legendary sword twin-weapons like Sunrise and Twilight? :>
Or maybe combine Magdaer and Sohothin to create.. a new Greatsword!

I hope that wouldn’t require the death of uncle trombone. And I get a feel he won’t let go of Sohothin unless we tear it from his dead, unliving corpse that has been unalived
Would it be Magathin or Sohodaer?

That’s pretty speculative, especially when we already have a known descendant of Doric right there in Ebonhawke: Commander/Captain Wade Samuelsson, Duke of Ebonhawke. He, based on his line’s continued presence in Ascalon, may be the only one who can make a legitimate claim to the throne. I can’t help but feel that he was introduced into the story early on so he could be trotted out and put center stage when the time came to really deal with the Foefire.
