A blessed trident moulded by cleansing flame, with three points symbolising the combined might of the three holy gods. It is a favoured weapon of the Shining One's servants. |
The trishula, like the eudemon blade and the sacred scourge, is a formerly-demonic weapon which has been blessed by the Shining One. You can create one by having TSO bless a demon trident. The ensuing trishula is an excellent defensive weapon, combining adequate speed and damage with a reaching effect and the ability to wield a shield with little negative impact. Its holy wrath brand makes it excel in the late game, a perfect weapon to poke enemies with from behind a wall of summoned angels and daevas.
Unlike the other TSO-blessed weapons, trishulas are not randomly generated, although Mennas may carry one. If the artefact trishula Condemnation is unable to spawn, a randart trishula may generate in its place.
You can turn a trishula into a demon trident by using Kikubaaqudgha's or Lugonu's final ability to replace its brand with pain or distortion, though this is rarely a good trade.

Trivia
A trishula is a stylized trident which is often seen as a Hindu or Buddhist religious symbol. Its exact symbolism varies from story to story, but it repeatedly sees use as a divine weapon wielded by numerous gods.
History
- In 0.29, the Condemnation unrandart was introduced. This allowed randart trishulas to (very rarely) appear randomly as a fallback for it.
- Prior to 0.10, these had 14 base damage but lacked reaching.
