Song of Entropy
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Song of Entropy is one of the nine Artefacts of Vulkan that has not yet been recovered.[1] It was stolen from the breached vault of the Chalice of Fire sometime between the Horus Heresy and the recovery of the forgeship in M41.[2b]
The Song of Entropy is an ornate staff slightly larger than a Legionary gladius, with a clawed ferule and a drake-skull head that conceals an emitter. When activated, it fires a crimson beam of entropic energy that no armour can resist,[2] causing the target to age centuries in mere seconds. The shriek of the energy beam is likened to the song of deep drakes mourning the sundering of the world.[2a]
