			Originally forged by [[Neoldian]] at the request of the trickster-goddess [[Errata]] and flung into a gathering of eighty-odd [[War]] [[The gods\|Gods]] and [[Cephut\|divine representatives of allied trades]], with a label attached to the hilt saying "For the Strongest". (Δυναμιστι) The fight failed to break out, as Neoldian had also engraved Lagunculae Leydianae Non Accedunt - "Batteries Not Included". Only two gods fought for it - [[Patina]], goddess of Wisdom who claimed it was a subtle metaphor for the hopelessness of existence and [[Cephut]], god of Cutlery who claimed it was a big knife.

Regard the Greek trickster goddess Eris (Roman Discordia) throwing the golden apple in among the goddesses with a label attached saying "For The Prettiest" (Kallisti), thus causing arguably the biggest and most unseemly cat-fight ever.

Another candidate is the will of Alexander III. On his deathbed in Babylon, he was asked who should succeed him as king. His answer was "The Strongest". Resulting in the wars of Diadochs.

"The Maltese Falcon", whilst not being a sword, is an objective for private eye Humphrey Bogart in a Roundworld film noir.
