The Prophets' Bane is an ancient sword of the [[House of Vadam]] dating back before the ratification of the [[Writ of Union]] and the establishment of the [[Covenant]]. Formerly known as the "End of Night", the sword came to be recognized by its original user as more than a warrior's tool, but a weapon that possessed the warrior's heart. The blade was highly treasured and stored away to serve as a reservoir of glory and honor that can be redeemed in times of great need.<ref name="universe"/> | The Prophets' Bane is an ancient sword of the [[House of Vadam]] dating back before the ratification of the [[Writ of Union]] and the establishment of the [[Covenant]].
