Divine Weapons

The Divine Weapons are the set of the eight legendary weapons forged with the power to repel and destroy dragons during the time of the Scouring. They were wielded by the Eight Heroes who restored peace and later went on to create the kingdoms as found in Fire Emblem:Rekka no Ken and Fuin no Tsurugi. The Divine Weapons, also known as the Legendary Weapons by various characters in both games, were sealed away after the Scouring to prevent their awesome power from disrupting the fabric of power in Elibe.

Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken
''' After Eliwood or Hector and his allies met with the living legend, Athos, they were sent on a quest by Athos to make their way towards the Shrine of Seals. After fighting through a long and arduous path to reach the Shrine, Eliwood, (or Hector during his story mode), once more met with Athos at the Shrine. Depending on the chosen story mode, either Eliwood or Hector received the last Heaven's Seal from Athos himself, which enabled him to promote to his second class as either a Knight Lord or a Great Lord respectively. Upon promotion, Athos revealed to the main character that the means to defeat Nergal was to obtain the Legendary Weapons wielded by their ancestors Roland and Durban. (The last is a requirement for Hector's story mode as he must face off against Durban to learn a vital lesson about power). The main character and his companions were then taken to the Sealed Cavern, where the chosen character and a small elite group of supporters faced off against the guardian of the cavern who they had to bypass in order to obtain the weapon. Depending once again on the story mode chosen, either the player receives both Armads and Durandal, or just Durandal and must wait to obtain Armads later on in the final chapter. The weapons are shown to be empowered with the might necessary to rend Nergal near the end of the game and as such will be the primary forms of attack used against him.
