Trivia[]
- Hjalti Early-Beard was Tiber Septim's original name according to the theory that he is born in Alcaire, High Rock. This leads to the conclusion that this sword belonged to Tiber Septim himself.[1]
- Hjalti's Sword can be obtained before starting the quest, then the Dragonborn can give the sword to the Ghost of Old Hroldan straight away.
- The Sword appears to be an Ancient Nord Sword, yet Tiber Septim took over The Reach in the Second Era.
