The Monarch's Regalia (照臨のレガリア)[Note 1] is a set of four interconnected artifacts supposedly in possession of Calvard's former monarchy. They were first mentioned in the book series "Three & Nine" found in Trails of Cold Steel IV and properly introduced in Trails into Reverie.
Background[]
The Monarch's Regalia consists of four pieces of equipment. First, a golden mask engraved with the relief of a crown that is capable of generating a gravitational field in which it can increase and decrease the gravity. Second, a golden armour covering the entire body to absorb the gravity of the weapon it is attacked by. Third, a golden sceptre, spherical near the top, transmits a powerful gravitational wave to the affected part. Fourth, the orb of crows assigns the target and distinguishes the effect of the gravitational field.[2]
Usage[]
The Regalia was used by the Emperor, who used their gravity manipulation effects in combat.

Notes
- ↑ 照臨 is translated as "monarch" since it refers to someone ruling over a people or country. The compound suggests a ruler who is illuminated and rules from above, which fits with the political and religious doctrine of divine right, which "asserts that a monarch is subject to no earthly authority, deriving the right to rule directly from the will of God."[1]
