Blades of Reason

Space Marines Portal Dark Angels

Blades of Reason are specialised instruments of torture² used by the Interrogator-Chaplains of the Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter^1a.

Ancient knife-shaped devices^1b, Blades of Reason that are etched with an incredibly complex set of neural wires, which are designed to cause intense pain to nerve systems they come into contact with^1b,2. Though capable of causing extraordinary amounts of pain, the Blades of Reason are not inimically fatal and so can be used on a victim virtually indefinitely². A victim of the Blades of Reason is normally expected to become broken both physically and mentally, and to confess to all their sins². The Interrogator-Chaplain makes particular use of them upon captured Fallen², but they serve also as means to get informations from generic captured enemies (except Necrons and Tyranids, due to their physiology)^1b.
