God Send

In his desire to establish himself as the leader of the pantheon, Heliod attempted to commission Purphoros to rebuild Asteria in Heliod’s image. Angered by Heliod’s claim to rulership, Purphoros forged the sword Godsend to fight Heliod. As their conflict raged, Purphoros’s sword cut the fabric of Asteria, opening the boundary between the realms of gods and mortals. As a result, the hydra Polukranos fell to the mortal world, but Heliod and Nylea joined forces to bind the hydra in what was later named Imistil Forest. Years later, the hydra broke free of its bonds, and Heliod chose a mortal, Imistil Tirel, to slay the hydra as his champion—using a spear called God Send, forged from Purphoros’s sword. The sword remained in the Tirel family for generations before being lost when it was stolen by an unknown thief.
