The Durandal, also known as the Blazing Sword, is the legendary weapon wielded by Roland during the Scouring. After Roland's death the sword was buried alongside him in a volcanic cavern in Ostia, only to be unsealed by Eliwood some 980 years later, as he needed it to battle Nergal. After claiming it, Eliwood soon learned of its unique anti-dragon properties, when it autonomously guided Eliwood's hand to kill a transformed Ninian.

After the defeat of Nergal and the death of the Fire Dragon he summoned, Durandal was resealed in its original grave, only to be unearthed again twenty years later by Eliwood's son, Roy, during Bern's invasion of Lycia.

The Durandal is highly effective against dragons and wyverns.

Trivia

  • Durandal is displayed in front of Armads on the title screen in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken.
  • When equipped by Eliwood, the Durandal displays unique attack and critical attack animations which reflect on its sheer size; a unique song, called Blessing of the Eight Generals, also plays.
