==Summary==
:“Escape. Survive. Anathema. End of Empires.”
:— Drach’nyen
Drach'nyen (lit. "the End of Empires") is an immensely powerful Daemon, known to the history of Mankind to a variety of titles, amongst them the "Echo of the First Murder" and the "Shard of Madness". Of all Daemons of the Warp, Drach'nyen is the one most closely intertwined with humanity, as it was "birthed" when in ancient times, one of the original primitive humanoids committed the first murder by willingly killing his brother.
The primal cries of anguish of the slayed brother echoed through reality and unreality, with his suffering and his brother's evil taking shape in the Warp, "giving origin" to a being that took the name "Drach'nyen", which was the sound of pain and anger that the primitive man as his older brother killed him. Ever since, the Daemon has been tied to all of mankind, for every life taken by human hand, every word of hatred spoken in the ears of the dying, every thought of killing another to willingly further one's own goals has been an extension of Drach'nyen's influence.
The daemon currently resides within a Daemon Sword of the same name wielded by the Chaos Lord Abaddon the Despoiler, master of the Black Legion, former gene-son of the Primarch Horus, and most favoured servant of the Ruinous Powers.

Attack Potency: At least City Block level+ (Easily slaughtered whole groups of Custodians, Sisters of Silence, and Mechanicum Castellax battle-automata. Easily destroyed a Warhound Titan. Destroyed several Custodian Dreadnoughts with ease. Significantly harmed the Emperor with little effort) | Varies up to Outerverse level (Within the Warp, Daemons that can manipulate the Warp and its dimensionalityA Thousand Sons; Chapter Ten; pg 85, with the Warp holding 3 layersThe Path of Heaven; Chapter Twelve, with each layer transcending the infinity of the previousDark Imperium; Chapter Three)
Speed: At least Hypersonic, likely far higher combat and reaction speed (Faster than the Emperor of Mankind, dodged his attacks and impaled him before he could react) | Immeasurable (Beyond the concepts of time, space, or distance. Ships have been known to travel back in timeCodex: Orks (4th Edition); pg 29 while moving through the Warp)

Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Difficult to quantify. While Drach'nyen is tied to the lives of every murderer and murdered human in existence, its behavior is still mostly animalistic and mad.
Weaknesses: While Drach'nyen can assume form in the materium whenever it pleases, it is vulnerable without a host. This problem is obviously not present anywhere not fully material.
Notable Attacks/Techniques
*Reality-Damaging Attacks: Drach'nyen has the power to sunder the material universe with its strikes, cutting through matter as something more mundane moves through smoke. In battle, even while sealed by the Emperor into the form of a sword, Drach'nyen has been witnessed to destroy a Space Marine Land Raider and flay the souls from those it struck with a single touch. Even the hardened skin of daemons or armor sealed with the power of the Warp is little proof against its assault, as it drinks in the energy of the Immaterium like water, consuming all in its path utterly.
