The Wailing Blade was crafted by the Dark Elves of Naggaroth, and it was carried with those explorers from that land who first came to ancient Nehekhara. It was presented to Vashanesh by Nagash along with the Von Carstein Ring, and it was used by Vlad in his great campaign against the Empire. After his fall at the Siege of Altdorf, the blade was believed buried with Vlad under the Temple of Sigmar, but in the tide of war, few are sure the right blade was seized.
