Blade of Woe (Skyrim)

The Blade of Woe is a unique dagger carried by Astrid, the leader of the Dark Brotherhood. It has an enchantment that absorbs 10 points of health and it's base damage of 12. The blade's final damage output is dependent on character level and level of the One-Handed skill.

Obtaining

 * It is a quest reward in the Dark Brotherhood quest: Death Incarnate


 * With the Misdirection Perk it can be pickpocketed from Astrid. (Which makes it possible to obtain a second copy of the Blade of Woe in the above quest.)


 * By killing Astrid in the Abandoned Shack after being abducted, and looting it off of her body. Thus kicking off the quest Destroy the Dark Brotherhood. NOTE: If you wish to go this route she MUST BE KILLED before you leave the shack, as she will become unkillable after leaving.
