The Sword of a Thousand Truths is a virtual sword seen in the Season Ten episode, "Make Love, Not Warcraft", shown to be in the online role playing game World of Warcraft.
In "Make Love, Not Warcraft", it was said that the sword was planned to be put in the game, but was cancelled due to it being too powerful. It was subsequently stored on a 1 gigabyte flash drive. An employee named Salzman, a worker in Blizzard's accounting sector, created a prophecy that one day those who were worthy of holding the sword would appear.
The boys were later forced to fight a "griefer" named Jenkins. Blizzard Entertainment allowed Randy Marsh's character to carry it, in order to give it to Stan. Stan then defeats Jenkins by using the sword in battle.
Appearance[]
The weapon appears as a large sword, with a blue glow, that can unleash a series of attacks to another player.
