The '''Soulspear''' is an arcane device that [[Rogal Dorn]] supposedly wielded himself. It was entrusted to the [[Soul Drinkers]] [[Chapter]] when the [[Imperial Fists]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] was split at the time of the [[Second Founding]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
The spear was lost over a thousand years before the Chapter discovered its whereabouts on [[Van Skorvold Star Fort|an old derelict [[starfort]]. Upon invading the starfort and interrogating [[Van Skorvold Cartel|its owners]], the Soul Drinkers made their way to a treasure vault in which the Soulspear was kept, where it was then stolen from their grasps by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]].{{Fn|1b}} Unknowingly to the Soul Drinkers, the crisis ensuing from this theft set in motion the events leading to the Soul Drinkers' status as [[Excommunicate Traitoris]].{{Cite thisFn|1c}}
Later the Soul Drinkers recovered the Soulspear, and it was subsequently used by [[Sarpedon]] to slay [[Abraxes]], a [[daemon]] of [[Tzeentch]].{{Cite thisFn|1d}}
