50 Subscribers: Riddle 4

Here’s the fourth riddle in my celebration series after reaching 50 subscribers. What is the answer to this riddle? I love the language in this riddle. Have a guess down below.

l am one on my own, wounded by weapon of iron, scarred by sword, wearied from the actions of the fray and exhausted from the edges of the blade.

Often I see battle and fight the foe. The products of hammers, the hard-edged blade, bloodily sharp, the handiwork of the smiths, buffet and bite me within the strongholds.

I must continue to await encounters yet more hostile. Never have I been able to find in the town a kind of physician who can heal my wounds with herbs; instead, the sword-gashes upon me grow bigger through mortal blows by day and by night.
