What's that, Enjolras? You want a highly dramatic retelling of just how that sword came into your possession?
"Ah, don't let him mislead you, Jehan; I nearly wrenched an arm off trying to take that sword myself. It was rooted in the soul of the earth!
--And there it might have stayed, resting in its village, like any forgotten monument-- but that the Sorcerer King chose to send his army of the dead against the villagers on a day when we were there too."
Bahorel is still terrifically excited, but he's also plainly not joking now. Actual sorcerer king, Jehan! Actual undead army!
"--But I make it sound like that was an accident. You know, I think the old king might have attacked that day for the same reason his army lost-- meaning to forestall it. That very sword, I mean."
At least someone else here knows how that sort of thing works. and will understand the theory.
