The Armaments of Heaven



The Armaments of Heaven are legendary weapons used by The Divine Five in The First War and later acquired by the following Divine Four in the events of the First Era. They were given to five champions of the Elven cause who proved themselves worthy of the gods blessings by undertaking a number of trials designed by the Gods to test their courage, skills, bravery and commitment to their people and against the dragons. When the final test of will was complete the Divine Five were awarded with the Armaments that became key in concluding The First War.

The Trials
To prove themselves the first step of the trial was to conquer 4 Elemental temples scattered across the Adingard Peninsula, these being Fire, Water, Air and Earth. Each was constructed as a mazelike dungeon housing a number of beasts and traps for the heroes to overcome which granted one piece of a key that when combined with the other 3 formed the Key to Heaven, for the following Divine four these temples served to guide them to the 4 shards after the key was shattered and required reassembling years later.

The Weapons
The original armaments were given to the Divine Five to match their personalities and fighting style.

The armaments the Divine Four acquired awakened when they arrived at the Vault of Maraketh and discovered the last remaining dragon, it is unknown if the armaments reawakened into their original form or took on aspects relating to their new holders but the eventual weapons were as follows:

Majhraz held the Staff of the White Grove

Ulfgar held the Ivory Tower Greatshield

Wulf held the Holy Defender

Darnon was lost prior to acquiring and awakening his artifact, as one of the Divine Four to conquer the temples his artifact - The Holy Avenger - was absorbed upon proving himself and is, as per Wulf's account to Scholars, now used in his never ending soul battle against the Balor of Doubt.
