'''Helswath''' (Japanese: {{hl|スワンチカ|Suwanchika}} ''Swanchika'') is a [[regalia]] [[axe]] introduced in {{FE4}}. It is the holy weapon once wielded by [[Neir]] of the [[Twelve Crusaders]], bestowed upon him at the [[Miracle of Darna]] after his blood pact with a dragon. The axe is the property of Neir's descendants, the members of [[Grannvale]]'s House [[Dozel]], and is restricted in use to those in possession of major Neir [[Holy Blood]].

==History==
==History==
By the year Grann 760, the axe became the property of Duke [[Lombard]] of Dozel, who at Lubeck Castle wielded it in his efforts to stop [[Sigurd]] and his group from returning to Grannvale, dying in the battle. In the aftermath of this battle, Helswath was inherited by Lombard's son [[Danann]], who did not have it with him in his occupation of [[Isaach|Rivough]] Castle; instead, it was kept by Danann's own son [[Brian]]. Brian wielded it in his confrontation with [[Seliph]]'s liberation army as it marched on Grannvale itself, also dying in the battle.

[[FE13|Millennia later]], Helswath came into the possession of the [[Grimleal]], and was given to its reincarnation of the [[Deadlords|Deadlord]] [[Tigris]]. By this point, the axe is no longer sealed to the Neir bloodline and is capable of being used by any axe-wielder of reasonable skill.

* Along with [[Gungnir]], [[Mjölnir]] and [[Valflame]], Helswath is one of the Crusader weapons completely inaccessible and unusable to the player in ''Genealogy of the Holy War''. Though there are several playable members of the Dozel family ([[Lex]], [[Iuchar]], [[Iucharba]]), they all have minor Neir blood and thus are unable to use the axe. It was not until {{title|Awakening}} that Helswath became a player-usable weapon.

* In {{title|Awakening}}, Helswath is the only Jugdrali regalia weapon to appear which does not have any of its original wielders from ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' present in the game (bearing in mind that it is possible to have [[Larcei]] or [[Scáthach]] wield [[Balmung]] through a glitch if [[Chulainn]] is their father).
