Armads

Also known as the "Thunder Axe", Armads is very powerful among the Divine Weapons, and increases the user's Defense by 5. The original wielder of the axe was Durban, a Berserker from the Western Isles who took the name of Armads as his own. When Hector attempts to claim the axe, Durban warns him that he will not die "...peacefully, but in battle" to which Hector replies that he would go to any length for his friend. Twenty years later, as depicted in Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi, this is proven to be true, as Hector (now the head of the Lycian League) is killed ultimately by wounds inflicted by King Zephiel when he ambushes the Lycian army at Araphren. Hector did not, however, have Armads with him at the time, having returned it to the Western Isles some two decades previously. Subsequent to this, Roy's army can recover it from its resting place in the isles, and any unit with S-level proficiency in axes can wield it; needless to say, it is never specified if any of the wielders die violently. However, it would not have mattered because none (but Lord Hector) harnessed Durban's (Armads') power
