Fast answer

The answer before the background

Our recommendation

God of weapons mythology does not point to one universal deity shared by Greek, Roman, Hindu, Norse, Egyptian and Japanese traditions. In this site, God of Weapons is the title of Archmage Labs' 2023 action roguelike about ascending Zhor's tower. Mythology questions need a culture and role—war, smithing, craft, a named weapon or a weapon-bearing deity—before they can receive an accurate historical answer.

Classical example

War and weapon-making can belong to different figures

A Metropolitan Museum of Art publication distinguishes the classical war god Ares, called Mars by the Romans, from the divine smith Hephaistos, called Vulcan, who manufactures arms and armor. That is precisely why 'who is the god of weapons' is underspecified: fighting with weapons and crafting divine weapons are different roles.

Athena is also represented armed and associated with warfare and patronage in classical art, further showing that a single English label flattens several traditions. A responsible answer names the source, culture and function rather than selecting one deity because an SEO snippet uses the exact phrase.

Other traditions

Avoid forcing Greek categories onto unrelated religions

Hindu, Norse, Egyptian and Japanese sources contain many deities, heroes, craftspeople and sacred weapons. Their relationships cannot be reduced to a single cross-cultural office called 'god of weapons.' Specify the tradition, time period and object, then use a museum, scholarly reference or primary-text translation appropriate to that culture.

Dungeons & Dragons searches are a separate fictional rules question and depend on setting and edition. The video game does not establish a mythology answer merely because its title sounds generic. Quest Meridian keeps this page as a disambiguation route so readers reach either the game guide or a properly scoped historical reference instead of a fabricated universal name.

FAQ

Common questions

Who is the Greek god of weapons?

The phrase is ambiguous. Ares is associated with war, while Hephaistos is the divine smith who makes arms and armor; specify the intended role.

Who is the Roman god of weapons?

Mars is the Roman war god, while Vulcan is the divine craftsman associated with making arms; there is no single universal label covering both.

Is God of Weapons based on one real mythology?

The official game description presents a fantasy world and Zhor's tower; it does not identify the title as one universal historical deity.

Why is this page on a game site?

The game title is highly ambiguous, so this page prevents mythology searches from being misrepresented as gameplay facts.
