Retribution

"For I bring fire and flame to the heathen and in Retribution I earn my name"

Known Information
The sword Retribution is an old weapon, one that dates from the birth of the Calixis Sector itself and one that has remained in the hands of the Inquisition ever since the mysterious demise of Saint Drusus on an unknown world. The weapon itself is forged from a piece of a bone recovered by an insane Guardsmen, one of the few survivors of Drusus' Crusade into the unmapped regions of space.

The blade itself is quite long, a surprising fact due to its origin though every test available to the Inquisition and Mechancius has confirmed its authenticity. A Power Field of ancient quality surrounds the blade itself and despite many attempts, deconstruction has been impossible. It also has exceptional balance and the sword sings as it cuts through the air, its edge sharper than sin and when it slices through the flesh of the Daemon and Heretic, it leaves burning wounds that torment the victim with agonizing pain for the rest of their lives.

Dark rumour surrounds this weapon however and many wonder at why and how it was made. In the highest echelons of the Ordo Malleus, the truth is known but they remain tight lipped, entrusting the weapon to Inquisitor Jericho so that its true purpose can be made manifest, however bleak it may truly be.
