Name: Gram
Rank: Weak
Type: Sword
Description: Gram is the "Sword of the Sun" wielded by Sigurd in the Völsunga saga of Norse Mythology. It was originally wielded, and pulled from the trunk of a mighty tree by Sigurd's father, Sigmund; later, it shattered from clashing against Gungnir and was reforged anew into a demonic blade that was capable of killing even a dragon by Sigurd. After that, it became renowned as a "demonic sword of both glory and ruin". It is said to be the strongest demonic sword that can only be equaled to the strongest holy sword Excalibur, so it possesses the special characteristic of "dragon slayer". The weapon is said to appear in the Der Ring des Nibelungen, a legend of a knight equal to that of King Arthur under the appearance of Balmung, but it is rather called the "origin" of Balmung wielded by Siegfried.
The incident of Gram being pulled from the tree by Sigmund within the halls of King Völsung is a legend of a "sword of selection" originating with the sword Merodach. Gram itself, "the sword of supremacy in the tree" from Northern Europe, was the model for Caliburn, the sword in the stone possessed by King Arthur.
This weapon fell into Kitalpha’s hands after having received the blessing of the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, whose limitless treasury has been passed on to the next Queen of Heroes following in his footsteps. It’s original form has been recorded in the treasury once Gilgamesh owned it, and still exists within said dimension even though it has been passed to a new owner throughout history as a copy or ‘downgraded’ future form, as Gilgamesh calls it. It is not proven whether it is actually more potent than its currently existing counterparts, as they’ve never clashed before.
Strengths:
- Belongs to Kitalpha’s treasury and as such will always return when she recalls them to their realm.
Weaknesses:
- Any weapon belonging to Kitalpha’s treasury can be used by whomever once they are summoned, including enemies.
- Cannot permanently gift this weapon to someone else as long as she owns it, as it cannot go any further than 300 meters from Kitalpha.
Abilities: N/A
