Dragon soul

The Dragon Soul is an artifact of immense power, crafted by Neltharion shortly before the War of the Ancients. Despite its outward appearance as a featureless golden disk, it possessed the capability to either destroy or enslave other dragons. This talisman was forged by Neltharion's slaves and infused with his own blood.
The artifact has remained concealed, hidden away by Nozdormu.

History

At some point shortly before the War of the Ancients, Neltharion knowing he couldn't defeat the other dragon gods alone, started to create the dragon soul, forged with his blood and empowered by Neltharion's Magic, the simple disc was magically shielded so that the other Dragon Gods could not see within it. There was an evil within the disc, some taint of his madness, though its exact nature is not known.
During The War of the Ancients when the Demons opened a portal to the material plane to allow their armies access to the world of Toriel, Neltharion saw the opportunity to complete his Dragon Soul. He first captured demons and added their powers to the Dragon Soul.
The dragon god congregated at the lair of Alexstrasza to discuss the coming invasion and what part they should play in defending the world. Neltharion proposed that to end the invasion of demons, the dragon gods should create a weapon with which they could eradicate the Demon armies. Neltharion revealed the creation of the dragon soul to the dragon gods and convinced them to give their own essences, which made them unable to damage the disc.
The dragon gods and their dragon kind flew toward the demon armies. The dragons awaited Neltharion's first attack. He grabbed the Dragon Soul and by channeling his destructive power through it destroyed thousands of demons with one swing of radiant magic. The dragon gods watched in horror as Neltharion also killed some of their kind and other allies along with the demons.
Neltharion revealed the depths of his betrayal at last. Now with the disc at his command, he wanted all races and the demons to see his power and to bow to him.
The dragon gods tried to stop Neltharion. Silver dragons surrounded Neltharion in an attempt to take the Demon Soul from him. With a single command, they were engulfed by the magic of the Dragon Soul and were pulverized. Malygos was also terribly injured, both mentally and physically.
A swing of the Dragon Soul paralyzed all dragons and the dragon gods in mid-air, rendering them unable to move or speak. Neltharion then struck out at the dragon gods, scattering them far across the land. With the help of this power, he captured Alexstrasza. Alexstrasza endured years of captivity under Neltharion's tyrannical rule, serving as his unwilling slave.
Nymue Loth, an Elf who betrayed her kind to serve the demons organized the theft of the dragon soul. When the Dragon Soul came into the hands of the demons, they went about using it as a focus to strengthen their portal to Toriel.
In a desperate bid to distract the demons and reclaim the artifact, Neltharion devised a plan to relocate Alexstrasza, intending to subject her to further torment once the artifact was recovered.
Nymue reunited with the elves, which now greatly mistrusted her after seeming to betray them and hand over the key to victory to the demons. But working alongside the dragons, they worked to retrieve the dragon soul from the demons clutch and to save Alexstrasza.
Fortunately, intervention from the other dragon gods led to Alexstrasza's liberation. Additionally, the dragon soul was wrested from both the demons and Neltharion by Nozdormu. As a result, the demonic armies were swiftly defeated.
