However, this does not stop the Dark Elves from attempting to capture the island, and many battles have been fought there. The Blighted Isle is currently under the control of the High Elves, who generally seek to prevent anyone from drawing the blade again. The Widowmaker is embedded within the Altar of Khaine in the Shrine of Khaine which is located on the Blighted Isle (off the coast of northern Ulthuan). However, the bloodthirsty blade took more from Draugnir than was given, and as a result the fate of the Dragons and Draugnir's descendants was forever bound to that of the Elves. During its forging, it was heated using the fiery breath of Draugnir, father of Dragons. The Sword of Khaine was forged by Vaul, the smith god of the Elven Pantheon. In all cases, the sword perpetually drips blood. For Malekith, it was a sceptre, and for Caledor the Conqueror the Godslayer was a lance. To Aenarion the Defender it appeared as a sword. The Widowmaker appears to take on different forms to suit the personal preferences of the viewer. The malign forces emanating from the Widowmaker change personalities, replacing empathy with callousness, reason with hatred, and mercy with ruthlessness. The blade has a corrupting influence not just on its wielder, but on all who are in close proximity to it. To draw the Godslayer is to invite Khaine into your heart and soul. The blade calls to Elven warriors, whispering in their minds and urging them to draw it, promising endless power in exchange for bloodshed. It seems to possess a malign intelligence, and constantly lusts for blood. The Sword of Khaine is the physical manifestation in the mortal world of murder and violence.
