Terminus Est is a sword in the science fiction series The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.

Before Severian leaves, Master Palaemon gives him Terminus Est.

Terminus Est is described as being " Light to raise, weighty to descend ," by Master Palaemon.

Terminus Est is mentioned several times in the book as being able to be removed from its hilt, and especially after it is destroyed, Severian removes the shards from the hilt and keeps the furniture.

During the course of Severian's travels Terminus Est plays a vital role, alternately saving his life and placing it in peril.

Terminus Est is described as having been one of the last works of a famous swordsmith — so in addition to its inherent utility, it is also an antique ; Agia describes it as being worth ten times the value of her shop and its inventory.

Severian takes meticulous care of the sword, always cleaning, oiling, and sharpening the blade before and after an execution, to the point where he uses Terminus Est to shave with, forgoing a razor.

Just like this sword, Terminus Est has a square end and therefore cannot be used as a thrusting weapon.

Terminus Est is eventually destroyed while Severian wields it in battle.

When Terminus Est strikes the massive and bizarre mace Baldanders wields, which seems to be tuned to the resonance frequency at which Terminus Est would shatter, both weapons are destroyed.

Upon the destruction of Terminus Est, Severian recovers the hilt of the shattered blade, later returning it to Master Palaemon upon his triumphant return to the Citadel at the close of the series.

Severian describes Terminus Est several times as a " paterissa " or cross ( the sword has long, straight guards and is carried over the shoulder, tip-downward ) and once as an " iron phallus " ( an image suggested by the fluid-filled channel inside the blade.
