Tarvos is a regalia axe which is present only in the NTSC and PAL versions of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. It is the personal weapon of Nolan of the Dawn Brigade.
History
Tarvos is one of the three national treasures of the Kingdom of Daein, along with Caladbolg and Lughnasadh. It spent years in storage in Daein's vaults, waiting for a worthy bearer.[1] It was entrusted to Nolan by King Pelleas for use in the Daein army's campaign against the Laguz Alliance, and he had his general Micaiah deliver it to Nolan.[2]

- ↑ "Nolan: You're kidding me… it can't be! That's Tarvos, isn't it? That's one wicked-looking axe. I'd heard stories about the fabled axe of Daein, but to actually feel the heft… King Pelleas wants me to have it? I always did like that man. I'll take good care of it, don't you worry.
Micaiah: I know you will, Nolan. King Pelleas does too. That's why he's chosen to give it to you." — Nolan and Micaiah, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
