Discover the complete history of the Sword of Khaine, the most cursed weapon in Warhammer The Old World and Warhammer Fantasy lore. This deep dive chronicles the Widowmaker from its creation by the smith god Vaul at his cosmic anvil, tempered with the fiery breath of Draugnir, father of dragons, and imbued with Khaine's murderous fury. Learn why this god-slaying blade lay waiting in the black shrine of the Cursed Isle for millennia, calling through dreams to desperate warriors. Witness the Second Chaos Incursion of -4498 IC when four greater daemons brought the High Elves to the brink of extinction—Avelorn drowned in blood, Anlec burned, and the Defender's host annihilated at the Battle of the Glades. Discover why Aenarion the Defender, after his wife Astarielle was murdered and his children Yvraine and Morelion kidnapped, defied all warnings to draw the cursed blade—the only power that could save his race from total extinction. Follow Aenarion's legendary hunt as he slew all four greater daemons with the Widowmaker, enabling Caledor Dragontamer's Great Vortex ritual that saved the world. Explore how the curse passed through bloodlines to Tethlis the Slayer, Malekith, and finally Tyrion in the End Times. Perfect for fans seeking to understand Aenarion's sacrifice, the Sundering's origins, the birth of the Great Vortex, and the doom-forged blade that shaped elven history forever.
