Chaos Sword

The Chaos Sword, or Sword of Chaos, is a weapon encountered in Ultima V. However, just because one can acquire something does not always mean one should...

Rumors had reached the Avatar that Lord Blackthorn possessed a special sword, stored in a chest covered in Human skin. The forces in this sword were said to be so horrible that it would force the wielder to slaughter his or her own friends in a fit of madness. Virtuous as the Avatar was, the hero resisted the temptation to recover it from the Palace of Blackthorn when it was possible.

It is unknown what later became of the Sword, but it is hoped that Lord British destroyed this horrible weapon after returning to power.

Trivia
