Symbol of Gond (taken from Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting; Wizards of the Coast, 2001)
Yuki is after the legendary weapons created by Gond, the god of crafts, smithwork, artifice and construction. She was joined by Jace, Hammet and other in her quest, running against the villain Oriseus, who tries to find the weapons for some twisted purpose.
History
It is told that during the Time of Troubles, Gond himself forged a set of nine weapons which hold incredible power. He gave them to his most committed and deserving followers, high-priests and heroes, to spread the glory of their patron god through Faerûn.
Today, the weapons are scattered throughout the realms. The exact location of some of them is known to a few scholars, but the majority of them are deemed lost. Some people believe that they never really existed at all, being only the stuff of legend. It is not known what kind of enchantement the weapons hold. Not even what kind of weapons they are is known: there is a spear, a battleaxe and a warhammer, but the others…
