Wyrmbane

The Runed Wyrmbane Velesca, more commonly known simply as 'Wyrmbane' is a runeblade that was forged in the Shadow Vault at the behest of it's wielder and runemaster; the Death Knight Wolfe LaCroix.
The Wyrmbane is best known historically as the blade that killed the Frost Wyrm Sindragosa, however this theory is often dismissed as here say by many soldiers and argued against as a myth despite witness reports that many have stated as 'exaggerated'.
The blade now holds great value to collectors as a prime piece of Scourge war memorabilia, regardless of wether or not it did strike down the Frost Queen, the blade is known to have killed more Scourge Wyrms than any other wielded of it's elk during the war.
The blade was shattered during it's encounter with Sindragosa but was recovered and reforged at Acherus and then later sold at private auction for a rumored 635,000 gold pieces.
==Creation==
The Wyrmbane was forged by request after the Death Knight Specialist Wolfe LaCroix sustained injury during an encounter with the Frost Wyrm Renrigosa, shattering her former blade.
The Specialist put in a dire request for aid from Icecrown and was picked up by the Highlord's men soon there after. Furious that her old blade was far too ill equipped to deal with the undead dragons she so despised, she requested the talents of Dutchess Mynx of the vault to forge for her a blade that utilised the cold blue flame of a Frost Wyrm's heart in order to negate the sealing properties of the necromantic magic holding together the primary skeletal structure of an undead construct.
During battle, the blade was said to glow in blue flame similar to that of a Frost Wyrm's core.
Once the blade was forged, the Specialist traveled once more to Dragonblight and did battle there with Renrigosa as a kind of 'cutting test'. The result is quoted by the Death Knight as being "less than disappointing".
==Legacy==
In the coming years of the Scourge war the blade is noted as having slain more than fifty dozen scourge wyrms of varying brood, including some prime consorts of differing intelligence and several matriarchs of the Frost Queen both in Icecrown and the Dragonblight.
The method of execution was mostly attributed to the mechanized flying contraptions of the Icecrown Goblins on the payroll of the relocated Outland Watch. Using these contraptions to fly close enough to the beasts to deal a fatal strike, earning the Specialist the nickname 'Croix' and the military renownment title of 'Bane of the Frostbrood'; this name in itself being a homage to the blade's contribution.
==Sindragosa==
The legend of Wyrmbane's encounter with Sindragosa reads that during the infamous siege of Icecrown Citadel the Specialist is noted as having joined the preliminary insertion wherein she contributed to the slaying of the Lich King's warriors, taking no more than a passing involvement in the execution of all but one such minion; Sindragosa.
It is said that LaCroix was wounded during the fight and merely watched in her weakened state as the other members of the preliminary insertion weakened the beast, however, she requested the final blow once the wyrm was felled and plunged Wyrmbane into Sindragosa's heart, killing the creature instantly and shattering the Wyrmbane in the process.
After the fight the blade's remnants were left to their fate as the Specialist wandered away to die. However, the blade was later recovered by the preliminary insertion and returned to Acherus as scrap after LaCroix's death.
==Reforging and Auction==
After the blade's reforging at Acherus by the Dread Commander Thalanor (A reforging that Dutchess Mynx holds as a great insult to the runeblade's purity) it was sold for a small price to a third party and then later sold at private auction in Silvermoon to a collector for a hefty price that is quoted as being "Well beyond 500,000" by an anonymous spectator.
The blade's current whereabouts are shrouded in mystery but are rumored to be situated in a vault somewhere below the Undercity.
