The Heavenfall Blades are master-crafted power swords wielded by the highest-ranked members of the Dark Angels Chapter. The weapons were crafted using a single block of jet-black obsidian; according to Chapter lore, the block had formed the core of a meteorite that struck the Rock, the Dark Angels' mobile Fortress-monastery, in orbit around the feral worlds of Al Baradad.1a
The mightiest of these blades is the Sword of Secrets, wielded by the Supreme Grand Master of the Chapter (currently Commander Azrael)1b.
Small portions of the meteoric obsidian were also used to craft the Sword of Silence, wielded by the Master of the Deathwing (currently Master Belial)1c, and the Raven Sword, wielded by the Master of the Ravenwing (currently Master Sammael)1d.
It is said that some of the obsidian was sent to the other Unforgiven Chapters, so that their highest leaders may wield weapons crafted from this substance.1a
