So, I am currently writing a scene in which the three furies (since this is a secondary world they are not exactly the mythological furies, but are heavily based on them) emerge from out of the lands of the dead to kill a main character and an antagonist. Each of them carries two weapons, and there is one in particular that I am having trouble assigning weapons too as I would like the armaments to fit each fury's theme.
The three furies that I have are:
Ellyria, the Fury of Wrath, punishes those who commit acts driven by rage. She has hair of fire, and carries a flaming sword in one hand and a knotted club (with blood on it) in the other, the club representing the very primal, primitive nature of the world the furies come from, as well being something you could easily pick up and bash someone's head in with.
Tyria, the Fury of Justice, avenges those who have no other recourse but that the divine itself will take their part: peasants oppressed by a lord, children orphaned, women raped by rich and powerful men. Her hair is a mass of miniature human spines topped with skulls crying out for justice. She carries a stone axe and a whip which she can control telekinetically.
Hamara, the Fury of Jealousy, punishes crimes of envy and spite. She is the one I'm having the most trouble with. The theme I have so far is ice, but I'm not sure that jealousy isn't almost as deserving of fire as wrath is. I was thinking of an ice sword and a poisoned knife, but I don't really like it that much. Does anyone have any better ideas? Or do you think that my ideas for Ellyria and Tyria could do with improving?
