The Seven Weapons of Altwaal are a set of weapons and armor which are featured in the Sigilverse. The weapons are found in the books The First, Sojourn, Solus and The Path

These seven objects were made by Solusandra and given to Altwaal when he was first created. Four of the seven weapons disappeared when Altwaal vanished from the world of Elysia. Pyrem kept the gauntlet and the shield and he knew where the sword was hidden. The Rod of the Gods was found by Seahn with the help of Enson and used against Todosi who then used the weapon to kill one of the First. When Todosi was killed Obo-san then came into possession of the Rod. The sword is locked inside the large stone image of Altwaal in Elysia. Altwaal himself kept the circlet, the bow, and the arrow. The Staff has not been seen.

[edit] The Seven Weapons

  • The Circlet - (worn around the neck) protects against energy attacks. Held by Lindy Karsten then Solusandra.
  • The Staff - powers unknown. Location unknown.
  • The Gauntlet - magnification of power. Held by Pyrem then Lindy Karsten
  • The Shield - powers unknown, used by Pyrem when he goes to rescue Ingra.
  • The Bow and Arrow - used by Ayden to end the war of the Five Lands by killing Mordath. The arrow was split into five pieces by Ayden. Held by Ayden then given to Arywn by Neven. The arrow is lost and Arywn searches for it.
  • The Sword - a very powerful weapon capable of killing The First in one blow. It appears in the last issue of The First. Altwaal uses it to kill Seahn and Persha.
  • The Rod - Referred to in The Path as the Weapon of Heaven, is a powerful rod capable of destroying entire armies and the First. Tested against Todosi to determine the powers of the Sigil-bearers then held by Obo-san who uses it reluctantly stating that he only wishes to use it against the false gods that killed is brother. The Rod was also used to create the rift between the houses on Elysia.
