A sihyr is a traditional [[Wood Elves|Glamílfran]] longsword of a strange design, with a serrated curved tip, an S-shaped cross guard, and a long arced hilt. As it cuts through the air, it creates a loud, ear-piercing 'shrieking' sound, from which it derives its [[Languages|Glamtín]] name of 'shrieker.' The length of a sihyr is often engraved with the battle cry of its wielder, such as "Blood for blood, a child for a child," or "Woe betide ye, motherfucker."
