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. Its stats are comparable to the Steel Poleaxe, although it's lighter, stronger and much more accurate and has a crit bonus and slightly more uses.
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]

Trivia
- As with Caladbolg and Lughnasadh, Tarvos was created specifically for the international releases of Radiant Dawn, and is not present in any form in the Japanese version. They are the only items in the entire series to be added in localization this way.

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
