You say the other gods are "upgraded humans or maybe Serioli". Aliera actually implies some of the gods might be upgraded Jenoine, but at any rate, Verra is just an upgraded alien, one the Jenoine had brought with them. > All the Great Weapons were created to kill gods in general.

Given their names, and what Mr. Lung said, it seems that they were created with specific functions, perhaps meant to work cooperatively. E.g. Pathfinder finds a god, Iceflame gives you the power to teleport there, Blackwand knocks off the purple robes or other servants getting in the way, and Godslayer takes out the god. > (well, specific Lord of Judgement), and Verra has shown much more > trepidation toward Godslayer (before and after Lady Teldra merged with > it) than she has toward the other Great Weapons we've seen. Verra can probably defend herself fomr the other Great Weapons, since the Jenoine could. Godslayer slices through sorcerous defenses. > a while into the books...and the fact that there are 17 Great Weapons Vlad-claim, not fact. > and 17 Lords of Judgement (IIRC) does make a strong case... I don't recall that one at all. -xx- Damien X-)
