The Nordic Axe of Paralysis is a unique weapon that's acquired by making a deal with Gualtierus Spurius during The Frostmoth Smugglers quest in the Bloodmoon Expansion Pack. This quest is the second story quest in the Bloodmoon Expansion Pack and begins by speaking with Captain Carius at Fort Frostmoth.

In order to speak with the leader of the bandits inside of Gandrung Caverns you'll need to choose Saenus Lusius as your partner at the very start of the quest. If you choose the other companion, Gaea Artoria you won't have an opportunity to negotiate with the bandits.
