    Here's what I remember of the weapons:

    • Rhongomiant: One of King Authur's Weapons, predictably less famous than Excalibur. It is a lance
    • Nothung: Yet another name for Gram, Sigured Sword. I think it was the named used in Wagner's Ring Cycle
    • Deneb: Brightest star in Cygnus, and one of the 3 points of the Summer Triangle (the other two also lent their names to weapons in Qarn and Aurum Vale)
    • Armageddon: Typical end of the world stuff. Speficilay a final battle between God and Satan. Greek Translation of the word Revelation
    • Draconomicon: Take Lovecraft's Necronomicon and adapt it to dragons
    • Tetrabiblos: forgot aout that, but I do know the name translated into 4 Book essentialy
    • Majestas: Some sort of law
    • Ukonvasara: A weapon of a Finnish or Hindu god I think (thought that might be Verethragna instead)
    • Almace: Like Curtana, it is a sword form the Song of Roland
    • Hervelgmyr: I think it has something to do with yggdrasil's roots and a certain Dragoon-bodysnatching dragon
    • Verethragna: See Ukonvasara
    • Gandiva: Bow of Arjuna, Hindu hero
    Side note is that they are also the names of XI's Emperyan weapons (some of them at least)

    Also The weapons that become these weapons are esstentialy the Eso weapons, (Which are antiquated) so unless Rowena had these made around the calamity, I think there might be some history to them, but unlike the relics it is preety irrelevant (plus if Rowena is selling them, then chances are they aren't as unique as the Relics anyway)
