== History ==
==== Prior to The Obsidian Path trilogy ====
Kantlament was a Lord of Hell that Khraen bound to a sword. We learn more about him in a memory Khraen recovers: "Arms numb and shaking, I lifted the fist-sized diamond I'd carried with me for the last three days. Cut by a demonic jeweller, it bore thousands of perfect facets. Part of my incantation had been aimed at capturing the fleeing souls of those I killed. The Soul Stone was full, loaded with the souls I would feed to this Lord of Hell. I summoned him. I named him. The End of Sorrow. It was a joke born in the horror of my actions, Killing so many left me teetering at the brink of madness, calling upon a Lord of Hell, and forever binding him to a sword, shoved me screaming over that edge. Alone, surrounded by the thousands I sundered, I laughed, cackling insanity. This sword would end everything. There would be no more war. No more pain. If I couldn't have the world, no one could. I understood the joke. The Lord of Hell's name: Kantlament."
==== Black Stone Heart ====
In Black Stone Heart, Kantlament is missing. Khraen retrieves a memory that he created the sword, and feels the need to recover it. Near the end of the book, Nhil reveals the sword is in PalTaq.
