== The Shard of Erebus ==
Ten thousand years later during the [[Invasion of Ultramar]], [[Marneus Calgar]], the [[Chapter Master]] of the Ultramarines, killed the [[Daemon Prince]] [[M'kar]] with the ''athame'' which [[Uriel Ventris]] had retrieved from Captain Ventanus's tomb. The Daemon recognized the knife as the '''Shard of Erebus''', which was likely the ''athame'' Ventanus took during the Battle of Calth.{{Fn|2}}
== Other Athames ==
In [[M41]], an operative of the [[Ordo Malleus]] stole an ''athame'' from a museum on a [[Tau]] [[Sept World]]; the Tau had mistaken it for a crude flint knife, proof of how little the ''[[gue'la]]'' had evolved over their long history, and had no idea of its special properties. When trapped by a team of [[Fire Warrior]]s, the operative used the knife to "cut a hole in reality" and escape.{{Fn|4}}
