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/Reuse|universe}}

The weapon can be wielded exactly as a regular energy sword. It gives the player a passive movement buff when wielded, allowing the user to traverse distances much quicker than with other energy swords. Additionally, the lunge distance is greatly increased when zoomed in at the expense of the field of view, the motion tracker, and the ability to [[Sprint]].<ref>'''HaloFest 2014'''</ref> In the final version of the game, it is a Legendary REQ which comes with a built-in active camouflage generator that remains powered as long as the weapon is equipped. This function is disabled should the sword's battery be depleted.
