- "Please accept this token from the Dark Brotherhood. It is a virgin blade, and thirsts for blood. May it serve you well, as does your silence."
- ―Lucien Lachance[src]
The Blade of Woe is a unique Ebony Dagger received from Lucien Lachance at the start of the quest "A Knife in the Dark". Lucien will explain that the dagger has never been used before, and gives it as a gift from the Dark Brotherhood. After the quest "Honor Thy Mother", the Night Mother will place a leveled enchantment on it.
If Lachance is killed by the Hero of Kvatch in "A Knife in the Dark", the blade will no longer be a quest item. Instead, it will have a weight of 1, a selling price of 20 , and have a base damage of 3.

Bugs[]
This section contains bugs related to Blade of Woe (Oblivion). Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- The Demoralize enchantment on the enchanted Blade of Woe has no duration, and therefore no effect on anyone, no matter what the strength of the enchantment.
- When the Hero goes to see the Night Mother, if they keep talking to her, she will give multiple Blades of Woe.
- Even though the Blade of Woe has no enchantments prior to the quest "Honor Thy Mother," it can still be used to hit Ghosts and Wraiths.
- The enchantments on the blade may disappear.
