Question:
What is a legendary weapon said to be created in your fantasy/science-fiction novel that a deity created that landed in the hands of some random guy or gal?
You can also use this question for another published work that you like, whether it is a novel or something else.
Enjoy!!!

The Sword of Honesty was given to Typhal by Arion, The Shaper, (basically the King God), marking Typhal as the first prophet of Arion. This was especially significant because it was after the great calamity (basically the corruption of the world, to which Arion offered a cure) and Typhal had been chosen to deliver the cure from the corruption to the people.

OMG! I didnât think that would work in all honesty!
I was under the impression that nobody here would really have that.
I assume wrong and I am sorry.
Haha, nw!!
Currently, it is in the hands of a random individual. Last, I remember writing about it (which was a minute ago), itâs in the hands of some old carpenter. It was stolen a long time ago from the royal palace and sold, somehow ended up in his family, and was such a beautiful weapon that it became an heirloom of sorts. Now, this dude believes his great, great, great, great grandfather made it. Itâs called, irrc, âSwift Bringerâ or âSwift Singerâ.
Edit: I really like Arthurian legend, couldnât not have an Excalibur of my own! (Though the name needs work. âSword of Honestyâ isnât as epic.)

Oooh!
Is that something you were going for with your story?
Yesss, pulling it from a stone seems a little too on the nose, so âaccidentally ending up with powerful sword, forged in mythâ sounded like the next best thing. Especially with the themes of âfateâ and all that.

Unfortunately, I donât have anything like that in my story, so thereâs nothing I can really contribute to the discussion.

Other peopleâs fiction are welcomed too.
The stones of the Guardians hold great power. Theyâre not exactly weapons in that you canât do anything with them physically (though you might be able to chuck them at peopleâs heads if you wanted to and cause a little bit of an ouch, but thatâs not how theyâre supposed to be used
). It might seem like they go to random people, but itâs actually not so random.

They can fit in your hand or a pendant.

Forged by God, Wielded by Man, Misused by Media Entertainment Companies.
That is the mead of poetry.

Creativity is a divine gift that is often misued.
I think watching Blueâs Big City Adventure gave me an existential crisis of some kind.

Does that happen in your story? A deity creates a weapon that somehow falls into the hands of a mortal being?

Do hermit crabs count?
Their shells are shards from a godly weapon.
