Dromos

Dromos is a divine weapon.

History

Dromos and the parts used to assemble it are of ancient origin, dating back to the era before humans, gods and demons roamed Mistarcia. Dromos is a weapon of mass destruction and its power is said to be capable of destroying the balance of the world. Its power has proven to be on par, if not more powerful than Bahamut as it managed to destroy its body, but it could not kill the dragon.

Depending on the user, Dromos can take on different shapes ranging from a hand, a sword, and a dragon. Its size is so massive people can walk along it and hide. Dromos is activated through the insertion of magical green stones. The user is also expected to wear a bracelet imbued with a green stone.

Humans must pay a toll for using Dromos. Charioce XVII was rendered blind in his left eye from his first use and blind in his right eye from his second use of Dromos. Nina Drango, who assisted Charioce XVII in using Dromos the second time, lost her voice.

For reasons left unsaid, the gods refused to make use of Dromos and dissembled this divine weapon and hid various parts or artifacts belonging to Dromos in various temples, one of them being Temple Ark.

When the steward of the royal family discovered Martinet's hidden room inside the castle and Martinet's book about Dromos, which explained how to use the weapon and what it could possibly do, the steward and a group of old scientists began studying the book, which also informed them of signs of Bahamut's awakening in Eibos.

Armed with this knowledge, Charioce XVII requested for Dromos and its artifacts from the gods, but was rejected. In response, Charioce XVII proclaimed the humans did not need to worship the gods anymore and began raiding and destroying temples while stealing the artifacts from them, taking at the same time the much needed green stones, which were also used to power the Onyx Task Force, whose captain was the steward.

Dromos was rebuilt using slaves and unpaid laborers. Charioce XVII unveiled his possession of Dromos during his war against the gods. Charioce XVII fired the first blast at El, successfully destroying the weapon El was manning but failing to kill him personally. A defense shield put around Dromos defended Charioce XVII from other attacking gods, who were killed on impact with the shield.

Dromos was used a second time to deal with the recently returned Bahamut. Charioce XVII was joined by Nina in firing the second blast at the dragon, seemingly obliterating the dragon and saving the world.

It is uncertain what became of Dromos afterwards, though given Charioce XVII's new status as a hero, he may still own it.
