Raven's Talons
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Raven's Talons are a pair of master crafted Lightning Claws, currently wielded by Shadow Captain Kayvaan Shrike of the Raven Guard[1a]. Purportedly forged by the Raven Guard's Primarch, Corvus Corax himself in the days after Isstvan V[3], the Claws are said to be unbreakable and can easily cut through any armour.[2]
Shrike took up ownership of the weapon after winning the Contest of Shadows, a bicentennial trial of stealth and ingenuity. The victor was allowed to select any item from the Ravenspire's vaults and after days of meditation Shrike chose the Talons.[3]
