"The Sword of Gryffindor was crafted by legendary Goblin King, Ragnuk the First during the 11th Century. The sword was enchanted with goblin protections and forged from pure silver with a ruby encrusted handle. Goblin legend states that the sword was stolen from Ragnuk by Godric Gryffindor, but historical documents have been found that show that Gryffindor had commissioned the sword to be made, and Ragnuk was compensated for his work. It has been suggested that the passing of the sword among future generations of Gryffindors, without further compensation to the Goblin community, was what started the Goblin Rebellions in the late 17th and 18th centuries.’
