'''Daemon Weapons ''' are gifts of the [[Chaos]] Gods, unearthed by particluarly chosen champions of Chaos. The [[Daemons ]] are imprisoned in the weapon, but have a very powerful, persuasive, and sometimes detrimental effect to their holder if the wielder cannot firmly establish his mastery over the weapon.
The most famous of these daemon Daemon weapons is the Daemon Sword [[Drach'nyen]], carried by [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] and harboring the daemon Drach'nyen. All that is known about Drach'nyen is that it can "rend reality apart". Also, unlike other weapons that occasionally attempt to subvert their bearer, Drach'nyen is under Abaddon's complete control.
Another well-known Daemon Weapon is the [[Gorechild]], a massive [[chainaxeChainaxe]] carried by [[Kharn the Betrayer]]. While in game terms Gorechild is not technically a Daemon Weapon, it does behave like a Daemon Weapon in the books. Gorechild continually beckons for Kharn to slay and slay to satiate the thirst of the [[Khorne]]-daemon bound within. And Kharn, the masochistic pawn of [[Khorne]] that he is, continually obliges.
