I'd -guess-, given her reaction, that Godslayer I don't remember any text evidence that there are 17 Great Weapons -- just Vlad's mentioning "the Seventeen", which could be urban legend -- or that there are 17 major gods, or that each weapon was created for a specific god, or that Verra is most powerful. She is considered the personification of magic, and might have a link with the Great Sea, and seems to be the interface god in _Issola_, and can beat up Barlen, but she's also the "Demon" Goddess, possibly controllable, and we've hardly seen any other gods. -xx- Damien X-)
