Since there are allegedly seventeen Great Weapons, it might make sense that each Great House would have a weapon that corresponds to its own attributes. To the right, since the Great Weapons were made by the Serioli for use against the Lords of Judgment, it might be counterintuitive to think they would have paid any particular attention to the Houses of the Cycle. To the left, we might speculate that the Serioli became aware that the Cycle in some way protected the Empire and the Lords of Judgment, and took this into account while forging the weapons so as to be able to counteract that protection, or appropriate it for their own efforts — especially since it would appear that they desired to become Gods themselves.

abstract	Since there are allegedly seventeen Great Weapons, it might make sense that each Great House would have a weapon that corresponds to its own attributes. To the right, since the Great Weapons were made by the Serioli for use against the Lords of Judgment, it might be counterintuitive to think they would have paid any particular attention to the Houses of the Cycle. To the left, we might speculate that the Serioli became aware that the Cycle in some way protected the Empire and the Lords of Judgment, and took this into account while forging the weapons so as to be able to counteract that protection, or appropriate it for their own efforts — especially since it would appear that they desired to become Gods themselves. * Godslayer could, for example, be the Great Weapon of the house of Jhereg. (i.e. A weapon made to assassinate gods, Jhereg are, among other things, assassins). It might also represent the house of Issola since it contains the soul of the one person who most epitomized that House. * Iceflame could correspond to the Dzur, since it embodies the Power of Dzur Mountain. It could also maybe embody the house of Yendi--Ice is clear, Yendi's house color is clear. Also, much of Sethra Lavode's defense against the Jenoine is based on Yendi-like deception. (Especially during the Interregnum) * Nightslayer could also claim title to the Great Weapon of the house of the Dzur, considering that its unsheathed presence is described as the "pure raw essence of the predator" (Dzur, p. 276) It could also be that of the Orca, as Orcas are known for their predatory nature. * Blackwand would embody the house of Dragon. (Proud warrior, eager to kill in Battle). * Pathfinder is more difficult to classify, but could embody the intellectual Athyra, or even the questing spirit of the Tiassa. The far-seeing attributes of the Hawk would also seem to be very appropriate.
