Dragunity Arms Laevatiin... again

Laevateinn is a name of a weapon from Norse mythology. Exactly what it is is still unknown. Some legends say its a Rod, a stick, a spear, a sword, or even an axe(no joke). It literally means "Magic Stick that fixes Harm"(Yeah. an AXE.) It was owned/is owned by the giant Sult, and is said to be the one that destroys Yggdrasil when the world comes to an end.

And apparently it only has 2600 ATK. Good luck blowing up the world with that.
Also, the illustration shows him carrying swords. Swords that are sticks, but not at the same time.

Dragunity Arms Mistilteinn has a less amazing story.

The origin of the word comes from Norse mythology. Mistilteinn means "mistletoe" in Norse. In the legend, it was the only thing that could harm a certain god, so Loki made a stick out of mistletoe to kill Baldur. Hence, it bears the name "Magic evil stick that kills gods".

Yeah.

Dragunity Aclys

An Aclys is a type of spear used originally by the Romans. In latin, it means "Little Spear of Death", a more shorter but accurate version of the more commonly used/romanticized versions of roman spears. Eventually, the word came to refer to many more spears than it was supposed to.

For those who do not know, each Dragunity monster is named after a polearm(Stick with a blade on it).

However, the Dragunity Knights are named after legendary spears and polearms, either used by gods, by heroes, or by heroes after being stolen by gods to slay said gods.

Draguntiy Arms looks like a let down to this theme, though... They've degraded to naming them after STICKS. Legendary sticks, yes, but STICKS.

Thats all for today.

G-Ray Out.
