[[File:Azrael.gif|thumb|right|[[Azrael]] wielding the [[Sword of Secrets]].]]
The '''Heavenfall Blades''' are [[master-crafted]] [[power sword]]s 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]].{{Fn|1a}} shortly after the [[Second Founding]].{{fn|3}}
The mightiest of these blades is the [[Sword of Secrets]], traditionally wielded by the [[Dark Angels Supreme Grand Master|Supreme Grand Master]] of the Dark Angels, while other portions of the meteoric obsidian were also used to craft blades for other Masters of the Chapter. 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.{{Fn|1a}}
