More Magical Swords

Tankards & Broadswords is quickly solidifying its place among my favorite RPG websites. Most recently, Badelaire has posted seven magical swords with a bit more personality than most you encounter in RPGs:

Each of these weapons is a powerful magic item, but they probably aren't game-breakers, and acquiring just one of these swords would be a quest in itself. Also, if the players are going to get the full effect of the weapon's power, they'll have to be facing the sorts of foes the weapon is designed to combat, and while the bearers of the swords have special abilities and protections, the rest of the party may not be so lucky.
