After collecting the bones, thou must first build a funnel in clay and grass. Once dried, a fire, made with wood and the collected Bones of the Earth, must be lighted within it. After the Bones catch fire, all the filth shalt be burned, and only the most precious core shall remain. It must be thence melted down in a bowl until it turns to hot blood. The blood must then be poured into a clay cast prepared beforehand. Once the cast sets, then it must be broken apart, and what has emerged, hammered in the fire to form a blade.

People once said that if a blade is to be good not only for the Horrors but for the arm that holds it as well, then a warrior should stride to the forest and summon a Kudlak. If it shalt take a liking to the warrior, it shalt appear in the skin of a wolf, a bear, or a wisent to test him. If he does strikes down the beast, it is a sign of the divine anointment. But, if Kudlak does not show itself or mauls the warrior, the blade shalt be given to a mightier one.

So it once was. Now, howe’er, only the stronger Horrors remain, and to beat even but one of them couldst be a most unfeasible task to an entire party of warriors. Ne’ertheless, Kudlak’s blessing is still worth having.
