Trivia
- In both Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, the Brave Axe is obtained from a mysterious woman who emerges from bodies of water, as a nod to the Lady of the Lake of Arthurian mythology. Lex is seen getting his Brave Axe from this woman in an event in Chapter 1 of Genealogy, while in Thracia 776, Halvan's sister Patricia got hers off-screen after encountering this woman in a mountain lake.[1] Lex's reception of the Brave Axe is also based on the fable of the Honest Woodman, as Lex receives it as a reward for honesty when presented golden and silver axes.
- In Awakening there is a minor bug relating to the Brave Axe. When the game tries to give an enemy a forged brave axe, that enemy will instead carry a forged Silver Axe. This can be seen with Lepus in chapter 22 and Algol in Death's Embrace, both of whom carry a standard brave axe on normal difficulty and a forged silver axe on both hard and lunatic difficulty, even though in the map data they are assigned a forged brave axe on these difficulties.
