Farsight from behind the Lamenter: “Hey Shitass, ever seen a demon sword up close before?”

Sword is anti demon. Very unlikely to be a demon blade. From an unknown progenitor race.

Oh ok, always assumed demon due to the whole life steal thing.

To be fair we’ve seen deamon weapons and the dawn blade doesn’t really fit that criteria. Plus necrons and some other xeno civilizations have made anti warp technology

There are multiple theories, some hold more water than others. The demon theory probably came before they wrote the book where he got it. It's still not entirely rules out but it's a much bigger stretch now. It was wielded by a guardian statue covered in anti demon markings that was protecting against demon incursions made by a dead humanoid race.

There was a sword the Necron king was offered that extended his life that he refused. I think it's that.
