Get Nightfall Executioner's Greatsword

The Nightfall Executioner's Greatsword is an epic-quality two-handed sword added to World of Warcraft in the The War Within expansion (patch 11.1.5). It is a massive blade with a broad edge and a heavy guard, finished in the purple-twilight palette of the Nightfall event.

The blade gives off a cold lilac glow, while dark "shadow" veins run along the edge and down the fuller — the model is emphatically demonic and sinister, fitting the executioner theme of its name. The sword is noticeably large in the hands, so it looks great in powerful, threatening looks.

This blade is part of the "twilight" (purple) weapon set from the Nightfall event, so it easily combines into a single ensemble with other items of the same shade. It can be used by classes that wield two-handed swords: warriors, paladins, and death knights.

The Nightfall Executioner's Greatsword is purchased from the vendor Vesper Churnmoat at the Flame's Radiance camp by the Tears of Morgaine, in the west of the Hallowfall zone.

• Source type: purchase from a vendor for currency, no raid and no random drop.
• Price: 1 Radiant Emblem of Service.
• Where to get the emblems: they are awarded for the weekly Nightfall scenario quest in Hallowfall.
• Binding: the sword binds when picked up, meaning it is collected for a specific character.
• This is The War Within expansion content, so you can gather the currency solo through the weekly scenario.

The main farming factor here is not the drop chance but the cap on emblems: only a limited number are awarded per week, so buying several pieces of the set stretches out over several weeks.

• Suits dark, demonic, and "shadow" looks thanks to the purple glow of the blade.
• Harmonizes with plate sets in a black-and-purple color scheme — for example, with death knight armor.
• Combines into a single set with the Nightfall Executioner's Halberd and other items of the purple Nightfall set.
• Contrasts with the light and gilded armor of paladins — a debatable but expressive "fallen knight" look.
• Works well in large silhouettes, where the massive blade becomes a visual accent.
