Dear players,

Italian craftsman Calippone forged the Holy Grail of Settler insignias, a mythical Settlers sword - a feat that was thought possible only by the most powerful gods.

We are in awe of such unbelievable craftsmanship and bow to this masterful smith. Check out more pictures with the sword on our Italian forums!

Happy settling!
