Vairocanum, the "Touch of Death",[1d] was the Force Sword of the Blood Raven Librarian Rhamah[1a] of the Secret Order of Psykana,[1c] but was actually the tip of the Blade-Wraith of Lanthrilaq which been reforged into a blade by the legendary Harlequin Warlock Lavena the Joyful, only reaching the Psykana Armorium after the Harlequin's defeat by Great Father Azariah Vidya in M38.[1c] The blade now exists within the reforged Blade-Wraith of Lanthrilaq aboard Craftworld Biel-Tan.[1d]

History

The blade was created by the legendary Harlequin Warlock Lavena the Joyful from a fragment of Blade-Wraith of Lanthrilaq the Swift[1c], the faulty blade which Vaul hid among his hundred Swords of Vaul, which fell from the hands of Lanthrilaq during the War in Heaven as he was slain by Kaelis Ra.[1c]

The weapon was taken as a prize by Great Father Azariah Vidya the Seeker of Truth after the defeat of Lavena in the Qulus System in M38,[1c] although Vidya never wielded the blade himself, instead it was held for millenia within the Psykana Armorium on the Litany of Fury before being entrusted to Rhamah during his initiation.[1c] The blade had a Warpstone pomel,[1a] etched with the rune of Vaul[1d], and it's blade sparked with luminous green runes.[1a]

Vairocanum was reunited with the remainder of Lanthrilaq's blade on the fabled Harlequin library planet of Arcadia after Rhamah fell to the planet and entrusted to Biel-Tan Farseer Macha who used the blade to cut across space reducing the dimensionality of the Necron fleet which imploded into torrents of fire and then nothingness.[5d]

The status of the blade in it's current form, as with many of the relics of Craftworld Biel-tan is unknown following the Fracture of Biel-Tan.[2]
