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], the Raven Sword, wielded by the Master of the Ravenwing (currently Master Sammael)[1d], and the Fellbane wielded by Company Master Balthasar.[2]
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]
