When the assignment was announced I look and saw that one of the options of a model to create was weapons. I immediately wanted to do a weapon as it could be for my D&D group as they have been asking for their own weapons or a reinvention of a weapon from fire emblem, which again could be used for a D&D campaign.

I first looked at the the Sword of the Creator from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I have always loved this sword because it can be extended into a whip, the sections of the blade come apart extending the blades reach making it a formidable weapon

Next I looked at the Yato from Fire Emblem Fates. I love this blade as it is obtained near the start of the game and grows in power. In the Revelations path it goes Yato > Alpha Yato > Omega Yato (The Fire Emblem). I want to design a weapon that could could potentially react and adapt to a greater threat.

I then thought about the Falchion, the legendary blade from Fire Emblem. The version that came to mind was Lucina’s Falchion from the Future Past DLC. The scene that comes to mind is when Tiki awakens Lucina’s Falchion to defeat Grima. linking in with the ideas I had with the Yato a way I could show greater power rather than a redesign for power gained in the case of the Yato I could just have light emanated from the blade and it could also glow with radiance.

I considered other options from other weapon types like Areadbhar, Dimtri’s Lance from Fire Emblem: Three Houses or Wolf Berg Walhart’s Axe from Fire Emblem: Awakening but I have more passion and familiarity with swords. Now to discuss with my D&D group who wants a new sword
