The Sword of the Lord of the Hosts; |

Attila wielded this ancient relic, known as "Isten Kardja," or the Sword of God. It was delivered to Attila by miracle; as prophecied by his seers, it fell from heaven, and was found when an ox developed a pierce wound on its foot from some sharp item on the ground. With it, Attila conquered the world. It served as his symbol of power just as much as any crown or sceptre would have. It was, in fact, the most ornamental and ceremonial item he carried.
Today, it is stored in Prague.
