Fellblade

The Fellblade is a magic weapon especially made for the destruction of Nagash by the Council of Thirteen, ruling body of the Skaven. ^[1a]

The sword was forged from a special alloy of Warpstone and stolen Gromril, spells cast into the molten metal and then quenched in acidic bile and poison. Its malign power is so great that even its wielder will succumb to its deadly effects and to even read the runes is death. The pommel of the sword has a chunk of warpstone that allowed the Council to see through the eyes of the wielder. ^[1a]

History

The first - and only known - wielder of the Fellblade was King Alcadizaar, the last human survivor of the ancient realm of Nehekhara. Freed by the Skaven, he was guided to the throne room of the Great Necromancer and immediately attacked, cutting off his hand as Nagash tried to fend him off and protected by the magics of the Council, Alcadizaar managed to kill Nagash, hacking him into a thousand pieces but, maddened by what he had endured and suffered, he wandered away till he died. Nagash was eventually able to return but had lost a great amount of his power.^[1a]
