Eldar Portal

The Moon Sabre of Thilienn is an ancient curved one-sided power sword.^[2]

Overview

Yrrthilien Mournsong wields the Moon Sabre^[1b]

The blade of the Moon Sabre is long and curved, not unlike a scimitar. This additional weight and length makes it nigh on impossible to use on foot but makes it a highly effective weapon when riding a jetbike. The faster the jetbike travels, the more potent the Sabre becomes. As the jetbike gains momentum so does the Sabre, until the jetbike reaches its top speed and the Sabre is seen only as a streak of electric blue light.^[1a]

History

The Moon Sabre of Thilienn has been handed down from generation to generation in Yrrthilien Mournsong's family on Craftworld Muirgaythh,^[1a] belonging to his father before being used by Yrrthilien himself.^[2] The Moon Sabre was one of the few things Mournsong saved after Muirgaythh was destroyed by the forces of Slaanesh.^[1a]
