The legendary rune blade Frostmourne, which corrupted Arthas Menethil's soul and pushed his career from being a Paladin to being a Death Knight, can now be purchased and put over the chimney at home.

The replika is 1.2m (47'') long, weights 7.3 kg (16lbs) and is forged of stainless steel.

The rune typed inscription is both promise and warning:
Whosoever takes up this blade shall wield power eternal.
Just as the blade rends flesh, so must power scar the spirit.

The sword can be purchased at EpicWeapons.com for $429, which is not that much, thanks to the weak dollar (1 USD < 1 CHF since Friday, that's epic, hrhr). The only question that afflicts me: where to find a place for such a sword at home? I'm really tempted to buy it, but without a chimney I'm lacking a proper place for it, and putting it in the umrella stand whold certainly dishonour it.

The stats of the rune blade have been presented at the last BlizzCon in the Lore(lol?) panel, but it's yet unclear if it will even be lootable sometime in the next expansion (Wrath of the Lich King), and what this would mean for the bearer (mind the inscription!).
