The Myrddraal, throwback Shadowspawn of the Dark One, are said to exist only partly in this world, casting only a pale, blurred reflection, untouched by winds, and when killed, they do not die completely until sunset.
The Swords of the Myrddraal are forged by the Shadow-Forgers of Thakan'dar, the spell completed with the taking of a human life.
These blades carry the taint of Shayol Ghul, and have similar properties to Power Wrought blades. Though perhaps the Myrddraal's greatest weapon is the paralysing, stark, terror they instil in men simply by their expressionless, eyeless gaze.
