Giant Weapons

ELEMENT

Giant weapons are massive fantasy weapons left discarded or set down upon the landscape. They are a similar element to giant skeletons and skull rocks in that they are often used to induced a sense of wonder and awe as well as help set a tone. Most commonly the weapon will be a sword but other weapons could be utilized as well. When designing a giant weapon such as this consider why it was cast aside.

Synonyms: great weapons
Example Mythonyms: the King Sword, Miller’s Axe
