Spawn of Chaos

I realize this may be somewhat completely irrelevant to the goings on in the 40k universe, but lately i cannot help but wonder whatever happened to the Master of Mankind's sword? I mean not only is it quite possibly the most powerful human sword ever made (by that i mean without considering the blade weapons of other races) I imagine it would be a vastly holy relic, and after being used by the Emprah, it must have some unique kick to it that other weapons lack.
So whatever happened to it? I haven't been able to find any mention of the weapon in any fluff source, in fact the only piece of back round that in any way depicts the sword is that picture of The Emperor confronting Horus at the end of the Battle of Terra. So I'm wondering what you guys might know? Or am I asking a question that has no real answer, what with its lack of relevancy.
I would imagine though if the sword is still in the hands of the IoM, some Custode officer would be carrying it around

IIRC the sword was shattered by the power the Emperor pushed through it to kill Horus.

The pic's fan art imho. On another note, what size is the emperor? Like as huge as a regular SM or bigger? (noob at fluff)

The Emperor could alter his appearence to however he wished to be seen.
His actual form was just that of a regular human so he would be smaller then a Primarch for sure.

ive always thought any commentary on the Emperors size was more an allegory for the power of his presence...

Unfortunately this picture is let down by basic anatomy. The severed arm holding the laurel is a left arm. His left arm is still attached, his right is servered. Unless of course his fingers can curl backwards across the back of his hand.

Demonstrated in The Last Church. The resident priest described 'Revelation' as looking like how pretty much everyone looked like on Ancient Terra. Even when the Emperor unveiled His armored form, He was still pretty much Human-sized. I guess He didn't go super-size unless He was in public view with the Legio Custodes and after the Legio Astartes were established.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

The Emperor's sword most likely would be locked up in the vaults of the Imperial Palace on Terra. I doubt the Imperium would allow such a sacred and powerful relic to be used by anyone.

The Emperor's not actively using it, so the flame's gone - it's probably a force weapon, so without the Emperor's power, it's gone.

Also I suppose if you wanted a sword to spew out fire you'd also want a way to turn it off, unless you were a heretic or something.
