Not only a tool of death but death itself is a sword in Glorantha it was discovered by Eurmal and used to kill the first human making all of his descendants mortal by accident.
Then Orlanth used death to kill and ussurp Yelm but that fucked everything up as that allowed chaos to come in Orlanth had to quest to revive Yelm and swore to never wield death again giving it to Humakt and Yelm is bound to return to the underworld each night.

Honestly Orlanth fucked everything up for everyone.
Yelm is the rightful ruler and protector of the cosmos.
