I'm really bad about remembering where I got something from, but I could have sworn that one of the Vlad books said that the Gods had the Serioli make the MWs so that it would stop war among the Serioli. And I'm almost certain that in _Issola_, Sethra said that the Jenoine had the Serioli make the GWs. I remember that because she pointed out the irony that the current wielders of the GWs use them on the side of the Gods and against the Jenoine.
