The Scourgebane Whip

==Appearance==
The Scourgebane Whip is a large bullwhip made of saronite steel. It's form smooth. The dark metal it's made of seems to suck in the light directly around it, giving off an eerie feel. Looking at the shadow of the whip, one could see all manners of spikes, indicating the whips' enchantments. The handle is made of polished white dragonbone which is encrusted with blue sapphires forming runes over the handle.
==Traits==
Those struck by the whip and manage to survive have horrid tales to tell, so too those who see it in action. What flesh the whip rakes seems to become corrupted and rot away, unable to be healed by magic. In the case of one such a person, Khairan Sunshard, not even being healed directly at the Sunwell could purify away the whips' tainted stain.
On the undead the whips' effect is much more devastating. The Scourgebane Whip owes it's name for it's ability to lash directly at the necromantic energies that propel forth the undead. Most undead hit by the Scourgebane do not survive, and have their necromantic energies torn asunder. Abominations, flesh-constructs and even death knights have been said to be felled by but a single blow of the whip.
The whips' surface may be smooth, but directly around the whip coil spikes of invisible shadow energy in an eerie powerful enchantment. It is this energy that lashes at the necromantic power of the undead. This enchantment needs to be maintained and fed regularly by either a shadow cleric or the necromantic energies of the undead. If it is not kept up proper, it's enchantment will fade.
==Origin==
The Scourgebane Whip owes it's origin in Northrend. The scourge slavemasters in the Pit of Saron were using such whips, dominating the undead there. As such the whips are rare, for it is unknown how they were made, where they were made and how many exist.
==Current ownership==
There are currently two such whips whom have their locations known. One is in the hands of Chloe Nightdragon and the other in Forsaken hands in the Undercity. Galliard Mortime Crokford has been seen making use of such a whip.
