Rumors had reached the Avatar that Lord Blackthorn possessed a special sword, stored in a chest covered in human skin, deep within the bowels of the Palace of Blackthorn. The forces in this sword were said to be so horrible that it would force the wielder to slaughter his or her own friends in a fit of madness. The wise Avatar resisted the temptation to wield this horid weapon. It is unknown what later became of the sword.
