Three Bladed Sword - This magic weapon is from the B movie The Sword and the Sorceror, and was notorious for its impractical but awesome design and for its power to shoot out its blade like a rocket. Stormbringer - if you have Mournblade, then why not bring over its brother. It's loosely part of the same setting as Terminus Est. This is a far future weapon that cuts through anything by creating a dimensional rift as its blade. From Tad Williams's Memory, Thorn and SorrowĪthame - similar to Changeling above. Memory, Thorn and Sorrow - these 3 magic swords were actually the key to the villain's plans and not the weapons for defeating him as believed. From Steve Erikson's Malazan Books of the Fallen. ![]() ![]() In the Malazan novels, this is the name of an Elder God-forged black sword that sucked its victim's body and soul into a hellish prison where they're chained to a wagon and forever trying to drag themselves away from oblivion (in this case an incarnation of Chaos that devours reality). Anglachel eventually ends up being the weapon that its last owner kills himself with.ĭraugnapir - Yeah it's named after Odin's arm ring that drops 9 rings every night. This traitorous sword made of meteoric iron was forged by the dark elf Eol, a smith who was even better than the dwarven masters he trained under. Cherrynh's Morgaine series.Īnglachel - From Tolkien. From Michael Moorcock's Erekose stories.Ĭhangeling - this alien battlesword is actually a piece of dimension Gate technology and it can open a dimensional rift that sucks anyone nearby into it. This is an elf-killing sword made out of radioactive material, it generated a killing field around a certain radius and only a particular incarnation of the Eternal Champion can safely use it. Traitor could cut through almost anything with little effort, but it had tendency to be caught up in situations that caused the death of Corum's friends. Traitor - this cursed sword from the far future was forged in a hybrid mix of swordsmithing of Prince Corum's own Vadhag heritage and local humans. So I'd like to see these fictional nods come up again and perhaps include things like: Plenty more especially from Tolkien's Middle Earth, including the Fists of Tulkas and etc. Mournblade - This is a demonically possessed, soul-stealing sword forged to kill gods and it's the twin of the more infamous Stormbringer. If it is, then this helmet is one of the symbols of royalty owned by the Melnibonean Emperors, including Elric himself. From Michael Moorcock's Hawkmoon series.ĭragonhelm - Possibly. Sword of the Dawn - this was the magical weapon in far future Europe that summons cavemen-like Dawn Warriors. ![]() Terminus Est - this was the mercury-filled, ornate and master-crafted executioner sword from Gene Wolfe's Books of the New Sun series. Offhand here are the fictional equipment that I can remember from Symphony of the Night: That was great, and I'd like to see in addition to that, weapons out of fiction just like in Castlevania SOTN (someone on that development team must have been a big '70s - '80s fantasy buff). Early in this thread, someone had given a large list of weapons from legend and myth that they wished to see included.
