The Sword of Khaine is a cursed magical sword that was said to be forged from a fragment of the war god's original sword.
Overview
Crafted by Vaul himself, this blade is a fragment of Khaine's own sword. The sword drips blood constantly, the drops smoking when they strike the ground. The poisonous nature of the blade is invariably fatal to the bearer.
With this mighty blade in hand, a warrior is invincible. It was kept on the great black Altar of Khaine on the Blighted Isle until Aenarion, the first Phoenix King, took it up in order to destroy the forces of Chaos invading his beloved Ulthuan. After defeating four Greater Daemons at the Battle of the Isle of the Dead, a mortally wounded Aenarion returned the blade to the Altar of Khaine, driving it into the altar before perishing.
