#Foreign Divine Artifacts (異國神器) — Section Index
Contents
#Identity
Legendary arms from around the world — Excalibur, Durendal, Gungnir, Ganjiang-Moye, and the like — turned into data in the Konsei Reiyotan foreign Divine Artifact format. The original myths and legends can be used through the core foreign Divine Artifact access routes (the foreign Adaptation technique, the Outsider classes, and so on).
For IP safety, public-domain legends keep their original names, while items of clear media origin use altered names (per the 99-07 guide).
#§ Core 07-04 Divine Artifact Replacement-Data Policy
Some Divine Artifacts (7 kinds) are already listed in the core 07-04 exotic-artifacts. This expansion 45-* provides replacement data for them — when this expansion is in use, this expansion's data takes priority, and the core data does not coexist (module toggle "replaces").
| Core 07-04 | This expansion's replacement |
|---|---|
| #1 Holy Grail (Cálice) | 45-05-01 Holy Grail |
| #4 Seven-Star Sword (Divine Artifact) | 45-06-05 Seven-Star Sword (China) + 45-07-02 Seven-Star Sword (Joseon variant) |
| #9 Sky-Piercing Halberd (masterwork) | 45-06-02 Sky-Piercing Halberd |
| #13 Green Dragon Crescent Blade (Divine Artifact) | 45-06-06 Green Dragon Crescent Blade |
| #33 Sudarshana Chakra | 45-08-02 Krishna's Chakram |
| #34 Trishula | 45-08-04 Shiva's Trident |
GM choice:
- This expansion not used: use core 07-04 data only.
- This expansion used: 45-* replacement data takes priority. Ignore the corresponding core 07-04 entries.
- Compromise: the GM picks 1 for each Divine Artifact (no coexistence).
The Seven-Star Sword has two variants, China (45-06-05) and Joseon (45-07-02) — GM choice by cultural sphere.
