Okin

Okin is a unique Ancient Nord War Axe found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

History
Old Nordic stories say it was one of the weapons that Kvenel the Tongue favored when he fought in battle. The other weapon was the legendary sword, Eduj.

Acquisition
Okin can be obtained in the ruins of Volunruud after defeating Kvenel the Tongue during the quest Silenced Tongues.

Smithing
It can be upgraded with a Steel Ingot at a grindstone and also benefits from the Steel Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement. As well, after completing the Companions questline and obtaining the ability to smith Nord Hero weapons at the Skyforge both Eduj and Okin will be able to be obtained as Nord Hero versions of themselves. This can only be done after completion of the Companion questline and before doing the Silenced Tongues quest, of course.

Bugs

 * Occasionally, either Eduj or Okin will drop alone without the brother weapon. If this happens, reloading and killing Kvenel the Tongue may help. Sometimes he will drop one of the brother weapons and there will be one on the ground and another in his inventory.
 * Several instances have shown that searching Kvenel's remains more than once will likely discover the brother weapon that was not present during the first search.


 * If you only find Eduj going back to Volunruud after days you will fight Kvenel again but this time he will fight you with Okin and it will be the only weapon you can loot thus obtaining the second weapon
