Weapons of Light

The Weapons of Light are ancient artefacts of enormous destructive power, fashioned by the legendary Old Ones almost one million years ago. Despite their strength, most have run out of power due to the fact that nothing remains to recharge them.

They were used in unprecedented numbers by the Eldar during the First Wars, but despite the huge casualties they inflicted, they were near useless against the hundreds of thousands of Gakta they faced. One, the Moon Lance, was stolen and used by the Flesh-Angels for millennia. It was wielded during the First Calamity, and then at Vangesh two thousand years later.

Known types of Weapons
 * Spears-long, sharp rods of pure energy, used in battle numerous times. (Moon Lance, Sun spear)
 * Swords-usually glowing with power, these are rare and were scarcely used, but they are more powerful than Spears. (Flamesword)
 * Detonators-bombs, easily capable of destroying entire armies thousands strong. Almost none remain.
