I think it’s something about Ovaltine.

A crummy commercial?

First letter of name of each person the owner of the sword killed with it. :)


Or maybe the first letter of the name of each person the sword is destined to kill but hasn’t killed...yet.

Ooohh, I like that! Now, if you will write the rest of the story that goes along with it I will be happy to buy it and read it. :)

It does sound like a great sub plot for a fantasy novel!

+NDXOXCHWDRGHDXORVI+

I'll take a wild guess. If the X's are to indicate spaces, then it becomes "ND O CHWDRGHD ORVI". The "ND O CHWDRGHD" may be "(owners initials) of (compressed form of town name".

Having gone to Catholic school, and getting into the habit of putting AMDG on papers (standing for Latin initials for "Ad maiorem Dei gloriam" ("For the Greater Glory of God")), I will guess the ORVI might be something similar, the initials of a motto.
