As is befiting of a chapter whose history can be traced all the way back to the ''Apocrypha of Davio'', the Angels of Absolution have a great number of relics. '''Redemption's Lament''' was a master-crafted, sanctified power sword. It was handed over to the [[Deathwatch (RPG)|Deathwatch]] around the same time that the chapter stopped referring to themselves as "Unforgiven"; although they are still are a full fledged member of the Unforgiven as a whole, the only real difference is that they feel that they have already gained absolution. The battle-brother who left it behind said: "its fate no longer dwelt with its brethren".

However, the blade completely FREAKS OUT the Angels of Absolution, subtly eroding their sanity with its presence, which is particularly interesting as per the [[Deathwatch (RPG)|rules]], since the Angels of Absolution don't break down the same way that [[Dark Angels]] and other successors do. Instead they gain [[Chaos|corruption]] if they fail to deal with their ever-increasing level of insanity, essentially becoming closer to [[the Fallen|renegades]] themselves. So it's clear that the blade is a reminder to members of the chapter of something particularly bad... perhaps they've been a bit premature about absolving themselves of their guilt?
