Talk:Runeblade
Gorschalash, Gorribal, and Taeschalash
I noticed that any weapons of the titans aren't there any conformation? TichondriusLives
- That's because they're not runeblades. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 21:34, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- They certainly use runes a lot (they came up with runic magic after all), and these weapons certainly bear close resemblance to known runeblades in terms of function and properties. It's not unreasonable to speculate that they are runeblades, as well as some other weapons as well. Perhaps a "speculated runeblades" section is in order?

Ashbringer
Is there any evidence that Ashbringer is a runeblade (other than the fact that there is writing on it)? And if there is, isn't it more powerful than Felo'melorn?

- I'd wager it's more powerful than Felo'melorn, but no, I haven't seen anything stating that it's a runeblade either. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:41, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
Vampiric Runeblades and just Runeblades
I think those two should be better separated, even if they both remain in the same article.
Keep in mind that Frostmourne also consumed/contained the soul and strenght of it's wielder, and the ones given to the Warcraft III Death Knights were the ones specifically mentioned to be vampiric, which may mean exactly that. In the case of Ashbringer (which was never stated to be a proper Runeblade, though it was used as one by Darion Mograine), the soul of Alexandros was also linked to the blade, likely by Kel'Thuzad during his conversion. http://classic.battle.net/war3/undead/units/deathknight.shtml
On the other hand, playable Death Knight runeblades are mentioned to be replaceable, thus not containing their souls, though they're needed for combat purposes. https://wow.gamepedia.com/This_is_my_Runeblade...
Also, remember that playable Death Knights use Vrykul Rune magic, needing their runeblades to also store their runic powers, while Warcraft III death knights might not, though they have the same spells, as 2nd Gen Death Knights use a lot of different magics, mainly necromancy and shadow related ones, but can also be just warrior-like, like Razuvious.
So, those might not actually be the same type or runeblades, as payable death knights are also able to create their runeblades themselves, while the first ones were made by the dreadlords and/or the lich king.
Is either that, or playable (and some 2nd gen) death knights' souls are not linked to/consumed by their runeblades, unlike their Warcraft III brothers.

- Yeah, maybe we should split it a bit better... How about this? Xporc (talk) 13:41, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- Looks good to me either way! Thanks! Elihaser (talk) 21:10, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
