Thank you very much LMP for that much needed info

It all seems so much clearer now.
So to answer your question:

What was Eswen's sword forged to be able to do?

Let's see her sword is named Nàrkir, which means
flame cleaver it can become heated up by a fire very quickly but it is capable of withstanding the heat so it doesn't warp. I've mentioned it in an earlier post, when Eswen plunged her sword into our campfire and it became red hot still retaining the strength it had when it was cold, she then use it to skewer the men that ambushed us, mmmm human-cabobs, sorry my morbid sense of humour kicks in from time to time.
I'm not sure yet if it was made specifically for dispatching the undead, but its an Elvish blade and they might fear it none the less.
