It is said that in lighter times, Caelum foresaw the evil the world would soon be plunged into by Ater and endeavored to try and stop it. But the wicked god's hold on the world was too strong and all Caelum could do was forge the six legendary weapons and store them in six separate temples, scattered around the world in hopes that when the world truly was engulfed in darkness, six heroes would take them up as weapons of justice and strike down Ater once and for all.
[ Caelum sucks. XD That's all I have to say. ]

These weapons have never been discovered, but remain in legends and old stories.
The first one, the 'transcendent sword', is said to rival the Sword of Eternity itself, and is purportedly imbued with so many magic qualities that when Caelum swung it to see how good it was after forging it, he sliced time itself on its edge. People say the temple it was stored in, The Temple of Gennaiodoros, is somewhere in the Varna Woods, guarded by Avaritia.

The second, the 'reckoning bow', is said to never miss, never run out of arrows, and pierce through stone. If an arrow is shot from it in a clear open space, it will presumably fly for miles before falling. The Temple of Eleimosyni, where it is stored, is rumored to be located somewhere around Fata Lake, guarded by Invidia. However, when would-be adventurers venture close, the faeries always shield the place from their view.

The third is a pair, the 'enthralling fans'. When twirled correctly, it is said they can entrance a would be opponent and leave them senseless to do with what you will. Not only that, they can slice steel and cut a feather in the air. It is kept, they say, in the Temple of Katharos, guarded by Luxuria and somewhere in the Ragazza Country.

The fourth is another pair, the 'eclipsing chakrams'. With these you can extend the limits of your magic to the fullest and even beyond, and unlock magical abilities you have inside you that could never be normally used with any other weapons. It is said to be stored in the Temple of Tapeinotita, in the Valley of Flames, guarded by Superbia.

The fifth is the 'shattering axe', said to be cause earthquakes when it strikes the ground. Despite its great destructive power, people say Caelum instilled in it magical powers of healing that can be used the aid the wounded. The temple it is kept in, the Temple of Metriopathis, is somewhere in the Forest of Aeropagus, guarded by Gula.

The last, the 'divining greatsword', is as strong as the shattering axe and is almost easier to wield, being a sword, though it still requires a swordsman of great skill and strength to use. It can slice flame, and negate most magic attacks, presumably. People say the temple it is stored in, the Temple of Imeros, is somewhere in the Sub-Zero Snowfield, guarded by Ira.

There is rumored to be one more weapon, though experts argue whether the legends were translated correctly. It is known as the 'damning saber', so strong it can slice the wind and molecules into atoms. With it, great evil can be done, or great good, depending on the wielder. Its temple, the Temple of Zesi, is said to be located in one of the most dangerous places in the whole world: The Circle of Schiarire in Atra. Even if it wasn't dangerous enough, it is also guarded by Acedia. Scholars can never make up their minds about whether this really exists or not (although it is questionable if any of the weapons exist at all).
