Notes and trivia

 * After the defeat of Kil'jaeden, the weapon was recovered by the blood elves and put on display in the Magisters' Terrace. It strikes true and violently, radiating fel energy. Mathias Shaw overheard the blood elven stewards saying that they fear its power cannot be contained to the sword itself. They also wear gloves whenever they touch it.
 * Its' name is most likely based on Apollyon (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλύων 'the Destroyer'), which was the Greek translation of the Hebrew term Abbadon. In the Bible, it appears either as a place or an angel related with destruction.
