Ghostglaive
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Ghostglaives are heavy Eldar melee weapons mounted on Wraithknights and on Wraithlords.[1]
These swords are encrusted with spirit stones, which contain the souls of long-dead Eldar warriors. These souls communicate with Wraithlord's twin pilots (both the alive and the dead), helping them deliver precise and deadly strikes against the enemy.[3] The power of these great blades is such that a Wraith warrior armed with it is able to destroy even the Daemon Lords in single combat.[1]
