Shard of Bekrin

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

The Shard of Bekrin is a broken Power Sword. This weapon still hums with power though half its length is gone, and those that look upon its stained blade at once feel the power of the fallen Blood Angel, Tarvos, who once wielded it.[1]

During the defence of the Shrine World of Bekrin from the invasion of Hive Fleet Dagon, Tarvos gave his life defeating a Hive Tyrant to help the evacuation of the world's clergy.[1]

Though his body was not recovered, his broken power sword was returned to the armoury of Watch Fortress Erioch and since then it has become a relic of the Deathwatch in the Jericho Reach and has found use both as an icon of valour and a weapon, especially against the Tyranid Swarms.[1]
