TheLands Sword (Japanese:だいちの剣Earth Sword) is asword introduced inFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. It is amagic sword which casts theNosferatu spell, draining thehealth of the enemy to heal its wielder; when used at range, it is fueled by the wielder'smagic and targets the enemy'sresistance. InThracia 776, it isNanna'spersonal weapon. The sword also gives lightweapon experience when attacking at 2 range, though this is irrelevant since Nanna cannot use light magic. However, this also means it does not give sword weapon experience at range.

History

In the climax of the conflict betweenAgustria and itsGrannvale occupation in Grann 759, the Lands Sword was entrusted as a final memento toLachesis ofNordion by her elder brother,Eldigan, before he departed the battlefield to make his ill-fated attempt to dissuade Agustria's kingChagall from continuing the conflict; Lachesis's surprise and familiarity with the sword suggests it is a significant artifact in the Nordion family.^[1] Following Lachesis's disappearance, it was inherited by her daughter,Nanna.

As in the game, the Lands Sword was entrusted to Lachesis by Eldigan, as a final memento prior to his death. Distraught over Eldigan's demise, while in exile inSilesse Lachesis attempted suicide with it numerous times, with these efforts never working owing to it merely healing her again. In an effort to overcome her depression,Finn impaled himself on it while it was in her hands and reminded her of its symbolic meaning as a gift: that Eldigan wished for nothing more than for her to continue to live.^[2] In this adaptation, the Lands Sword is the size of a knife.
