==History==
The '''Lion Sword''' was a [[power sword]] said to have been crafted on [[Terra]] by the [[Emperor]]'s own armourers. It shone with a pale inner light,{{Fn|2}} igniting anything it cut with a sudden burst of flame. The Lion briefly lost the sword in his [[The Lion and the Wolf|duel]] with [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]] on [[Dulan]],{{fn|4a}} and it was said he never let a weapon slip from his fingers since.{{fn|4b}}
During the Lion's time in [[Imperium Secundus]], he wielded the ''Lion Sword'' in his duel with [[Konrad Curze]], the blade easily cutting through the other primarch's [[The Nightmare Mantle|Nightmare Mantle]].{{fn|3a}} It was broken in half by an enraged [[Roboute Guilliman]] when he discovered that the Lion had violated his oaths to [[Sanguinius]] not to use orbital bombardment on [[Macragge]] against rebels.{{fn|3b}} [[Deathwing|Deathbringer]] [[Holguin]] kept the pieces, hoping to have the blade reforged.{{Fn|3c}}
