What's the most famous weapon/item in your setting?

Pic related. It's the gun that started World War One and subsequently World War Two.

No. Far from it. That gun may have set a lot in motion, but it's hardly well known.

Quoted By:

An iron rod that an emperor sacrificed more than half of his people for and turned most of his land into a desert in order to create.

It's primary use is absorbing magic, but it can also absorb anything else that it touches. The man wielding it is just about invincible.

That also happens to be the holiest relic of Khorne in our world.

Quoted By:

There was a minor artifact called the white-gold lance which was already a famous weapon, if only decorative, before magic entered the world, as the leader of a massive rebellion that birthed an empire began with the leader pointing the lance at the ruler and declaring that if he was not killed now, he would grow everstronger until he could put it through the ruler's heart.

After magic entered the world it gained a power from that legend. If the wielder named another person's death to be the target of all their purpose, the lance would grow in power against that person every time the wielder did something significant to oppose that person. Not insanely useful, since it was only effective against a single person and with a lot of buildup, but potentially good for slaying high-power monsters at the head of armies or whatnot.

Anyway, the lance was wielded against a man who strove to become a god, but the hero was unable to slay the villain before his apotheosis into an abstract being that is basically the devil.

It has been centuries since that day, and the lance has switch its target from that ancient villain to the abstract concept of opposing god. This makes it very, very, very, very powerful.

Well, it was the proverbial last straw breaking camel's back and if it were not for this, there would be some other event getting things in motion. The only thing constat would be that it will still be Serb's fault somehow.

Seintraeger, a legendary blade that was made eons before eons ago. No one knows where it came from, no one knows what it wants, but when it chooses a champion, chaos and bloodshed seems to follow. It tends to rest for a long time between rising, taking one person every few thousand years.

It drinks the essence of those it kills, and that makes it more powerful. The champion in question becomes somewhat superhuman, being capable of processing the lives of those he's slain to use their experience and add it to his own.

I did rip it off Glenn Cook, but Daubendiek was just too cool.

After the last campaign, probably the weapons used by the PCs. The Holy Spear Njirhundt and the gauntlets called The Fists of Brotherhood both have a large-scale "bolster morale and camaraderie" effect and are all-around excellent weapons, while the wand Vajra was given to the party by the Oracle of Winds and its lightning powers used to devastate Zalam's armies.

There was also Forgebreaker, an oversized blacksmith's hammer (it was found on the petrified, charred corpse of a fire giant in ancient ruins) -- a fiery hammer is rad enough, but turns out despite its size, it's also perfect for crafting weapons and armour. I still need to ask the PCs what they did with their legendary artifacts after the war ended.

The Mage Emperor's red-bladed sword was forged from metal that fell from the sky and infused with the living souls of those who crafted it as eternal servants to His glory, but that sword was lost after the war, presumed destroyed. In reality, the Mage Emperor took it with him when the Dark Powers sent their mists to whisk him away to the Demiplane of Dread after his defeat. Now he uses it to rule his own little hell-prison. He's almost as bad a neighbour as Strahd.

In an entirely different setting, the most famous weapon is the ceremonial sword used by the kingdom of Areneau, forged from the fang of the great demon-dragon Asharlahest a thousand years ago, when the warlord Aren brought the tribes together to defeat the dragon and formed the kingdom. There are other weapons forged from the demon-dragon's bones, but the Fang is the one worn by the king and used for knighting.

A big bulky plasma assault rifle. It's ugly, it's boxy, it's old, more recent designs are much more powerful, but it works. Easy to use, low recoil, high magazine capacity, and found everywhere. There are 32 billion+ produced over several hundred years and it has been present in every war from the 21st to the 29th century.

Though the government that commissioned it is a shadow of its former self and the manufacturer has stopped making it this gun is the go-to of every criminal, rebel, and poor militiaman throughout the galaxy. The last model was the 74th iteration of the design and so all rifles are known by that designation regardless of their actual model.

It's basically a space-AK-47.

The Laniatus Blade.
A two handed, lathe-forged, power great-sword made of a single shaped and carved slab of depleted deuterium. (the shit they use for the very tip of bolt shells) (Yes I know it's magic water irl, GW is dumb)
Crafted in the heart of a dying plasma reactor by a forge-saint, made a masterwork, scrimshawed, and fine tuned by the that same Forge-Saint.
Gifted to the Deathwatch, it saw thousands of years of service before needing to be repaired.
It's repair made it function additionally as a psy-focus and psy-blade.
They bound the soul of a primaris-level pyromancer psyker to the blade so it forever burns a low simmer of white flame, a power that can be flared with the assistance of the wielder's psy rating.
A strike from this blade results in more than cutting the flesh, it burns the very soul with holocaust-warpfire not only killing them but permanently destroying their souls.
The blade's esoteric runes, carvings and enchantments then soul-syphon the now dissipated soul-energy and warp-essence into the blade, fueling it and temporarily increasing it's power.
Additionally the handle was modified with nano-quicksilver, shaping itself to the hand of the wielder, making every use of the blade feel as though it were crafted for their hands alone.
Also a scum character put his lucky dice (memento, lucky item and keepsake in one item) on the pommel.

It was more the concept of a cheap ubiquitous rifle than the actual statistics but you are right. It's really just "the AK series of weapons" in general.

I guess I kinda missed the concept of this thread though. I was thinking "best known weapon" rather than "single most famous named weapon".

The most famous weapon might be The Blade of Kenyoni which was actually invented by a friend of mine but holds more fame than any other weapon because of a few reasons. The reason for its fame is that it was used both in the 13th century and the 21st century by some of the greatest heroes of each.

The weapon itself is an unusually large arming sword. The original wielder wielder did not understand the source of its full power but he did use it well. The legends said it hummed with power and cut through the toughest steel-plate like butter. The legends also say it destroyed the terracotta soldiers brought to life by an evil sorcerer just by being near them. But those were legends, there are no sorcerers and no living clay men.

The blade resurfaced in the 21st century after being lost in battle. It was found that the weapon was an advanced vibroblade from the 28th century at least and contained a short range EMP which would pulse every few minutes by itself without any observed power source. The terracotta soldiers also re awoke (they were robots covered in clay plates for disguise). The Blade of Kenyoni was an alien weapon granted to Kenyoni as a part of a convoluted plan.

Quoted By:

Chakrams worn over turban by ruler of the North Kingdom. They are absolutely normal, if decorative chakrams... that then to break necks with sudden weight increase. Basically everyone "not suitable" to be the ruler dies. And to be legitimate ruler you must wear that stuff. And to be suitable, you must pull specific set of heroic deeds, basically making sure that the king is both cunning, brave and able to lead.

How does it work - nobody knows.
Why does it work like that - nobody knows.
But what's important - people of the North Kingdom won't follow anyone who both claims to be current ruler and won't show in public with those chakrams over his turban.

The semi-Jesus like figure had a spear that he slammed into the earth to found his colony an underneath it was both a vast steel mine (steel is naturally occurring in this world) and a giant underground reservoir. It's currently encased in a statue in the middle of the colony which is now a gigantic trade hub.
