(tlhIngan Hol reference: Klingon for the Galactic Traveler) A group of Vulcan explorers found the remains of a Hur'q settlement in the Gamma Quadrant in 2372. They also found the Shroud of the Sword which Kor, a former ambassador to Vulcan, persuaded them to give it to him. He later told Jadzia Dax of his discovery, who determined that the Shroud was genuine. Worf, Dax and Kor later decided to beam the Sword into space for others to find, believing to return the Sword now would tear the Klingon Empire apart. (DS9 episode: "The Sword of Kahless")

- Brandishing his newly-forged Sword, Kahless slew the hated tyrant Molor, conquered the Fek'Ihri, and created the first Empire. Kahless later used the Sword to skin the serpent of Xol, to harvest his father's field, and to carve a statue of his beloved, the Lady Lukara. After Kahless' death, the Sword became a revered object among the Klingon people. The Sword was wrapped in a special cloth, the Shroud of the Sword, that was also a revered object. However, both the Sword and the Shroud were stolen about five hundred years later by the Hur'q, during their invasion and plundering of Qo'noS.

abstract | - Brandishing his newly-forged Sword, Kahless slew the hated tyrant Molor, conquered the Fek'Ihri, and created the first Empire. Kahless later used the Sword to skin the serpent of Xol, to harvest his father's field, and to carve a statue of his beloved, the Lady Lukara. After Kahless' death, the Sword became a revered object among the Klingon people. The Sword was wrapped in a special cloth, the Shroud of the Sword, that was also a revered object. However, both the Sword and the Shroud were stolen about five hundred years later by the Hur'q, during their invasion and plundering of Qo'noS. Following the theft of the Sword, numerous fake Shrouds were "discovered" over the years. A Vulcan expedition found the true Shroud among the remains of a Hur'q outpost in the Gamma Quadrant in 2372. Using the data provided by the Vulcans, Dahar master Kor launched a quest to find the Sword itself. He, along with Jadzia Dax and Worf, discovered the Sword in the same Hur'q outpost. However, the enormous symbolism of the Sword became a matter of contention between Worf and Kor, as well as the target of theft by Toral, son of Duras. After realizing that the Sword would only serve to divide the Klingon Empire further rather than reunite it (as the legends foretold), Dax, Worf, and Kor set it adrift in interstellar space.

(DS9 episode: "The Sword of Kahless") In 2374, Omega Squad member Pava Ek'Noor sh'Aqabaa placed a rumor about the Sword in order to draw out the Klingon Empire's First Cadre. She did this to trick one member of the group specifically which was Kovold as she sought to kill him as revenge for what he did to one of her team mates. (SA comic: "MangHom qaD") In early 2376, Worf and Ezri Dax recovered the Sword and brought it to Boreth for Martok to use against Gothmara and Morjod. (DS9 - The Left Hand of Destiny novel: Book Two) Martok displayed the Sword of Kahless at the meeting of the Order of the Bat'leth in 2376. (GKN novel: A Good Day to Die) In the same year in ST video game: Armada Toral claimed to have found the Sword and planned to use it to unite the Empire under his banner but in order to protect his deception he planned to kill Worf. He failed and Worf recovered the Sword and gave it to Martok who used it to defeat Toral's rebellion.
