History

Atlan, the deceased first king of Atlantis, ruled his land with the Trident of Neptune. When his brother, Orin, became disgusted with Atlan's open race policy in his kingdom, he organized a coup. Atlan retreated into the ocean.

Over the next few years, using the "Gold of Legacy", which he stole from its original owner,[1] Atlan forged seven more weapons to retake Atlantis, aside from the aforementioned trident.

Atlan's Scepter was used by Atlan in the attack to sink Atlantis due to his anger of losing his family and kingdom.[2]

The weapons were ultimately buried in Atlan's tomb, with the exception of the Trident given to the ruler of Atlantis.[3]

They were recovered by the Others and protected by the various members until being reunited by Atlan years later.[4]
