The Dawn Blade[2]
The Dawn Blade is a weapon wielded by Commander Farsight of the Tau.
He found it in a mysterious temple on the world of Arthas Moloch, using it to fight creatures that were almost certainly Chaos Daemons.[2] It flickers with unknown energy and when he swings it, sharp enough to cut through rock, it cuts a swathe easily through most enemies and armoured vehicles.[1] Unknown to its wielder its blade is made from chronophagic alloys which add a slain foe's remaining natural lifespan to that of its owners. This is the secret of Farsight's remarkable longevity, which has spanned to over three centuries.[2]
