Well, you wouldn't leave a nasty thing like that lying around would you? Why my friend, it's happily stored away in Humakt's Armoury, under lock and key:
"Whence the Battle cleared, Humakt was left with the Blade Oblivion. Humakt thought to throw it from his grasp, but realized that others might use it. He thought to give it to someone greater than he, but could find none. He thought to give it to someone more knowledgable than he, but realized that it was his fault it existed, and his burden to bear. He placed it in the Armoury in his Stead, but worried every night he slept that the Trickster, or some other such vagabond, would come to steal it like they had done Death. Eventually he realized what he must do. He went to the Mostali and took from them four castles of iron which he smelted with his Forge. He made a case thicker than a mountain in which he could store the weapon, then entreated the Spirits of Death to guard it. The Spirits brought him the Last Beast of Humakt, and the Beast of Four Swords which was later slain by Jar-Eel. Then he asked Eurmal to hide the mountain for him. It was hidden so well that even Eurmal cannot find it again. The blade has only once left it's home, and that was by order of Humakt when he was forced to give the blade to the only other being in this Cosmos Worthy of carrying it. That was, of course, his son....."
