This is my interpretation of the sword "Draugr" from the movie "The Northman". It is based on what little clear shots we get to see in the movie (mostly at night and devoid of colour), and my own knowledge on this type of sword.

The sword has to be taken from an (un)dead captain, buried with his ship, as seen in the movie.

Short facts:

Craftable: As of v1.1.1 you can craft effect-free REPLICAS of Draugr if you have the original in your inventory (steel smithing perk). (I did not add this to the NoEffect version since it would be redundant)
Temperable: Yes
Enchantable: Yes
Stats: Depends (see further down)

The Sword:

The sword is a ring-hilted spatha, I'd say ~250 years old by the time Amleth recovers it. The decision to include garnets in the pommel was because of a screencap that shows stuff protruding out of there, not being engraved, another shows the pattern. The engravings are all quite random, since I couldn't see enough detail in the movie, just that something is there. The runes are taken directly from the movie - there's a bit to talk about them, but I won't bore you with that.

In the movie Draugr can only be drawn at night. That would be a bit much, instead my version only reveals it's true power between 7pm and 5am. At daylight it is just a somewhat better steel sword (base-damage of 11), but at night it gets another +10dmg. This is done via a hidden perk (only active, when the sword is equipped), not an enchantment - so you can still enchant to your hearts content. I also made a hardcore version which also has -10dmg at day, making it pretty much useless when the sun is up. And of course there is a "No Effect" version without all that, and a base damage of 15.

Effects only show, when the weapon is equipped!

The Cave:


The sword has to be unearthed. Off the coast of Winterhold, near Bleakcoast Cave, there is a new small cave (see screenshots for location) called "Captain's Rest", where you'll find the sword on the lap of a leveled Draugr boss. Take it, and he'll wake up (and be a bit pissed off).
