History
| I know what that is. It's a storm trident. It is supposed to let you control the lightning. |
| —Cylanna identifies one of the storm tridents. |
Unlike normal tridents, the storm tridents were used to summon lightning against their wielders' opponents. Though only the merfolk were capable of using them,[1] they occasionally were possessed by other aquatic races, such as nagas and sea serpents.[2][3] For instance, Bitey the Serpent protected one of these storm tridents at Morogor;[4] while passing by, one of the mermen working for Prince Haldric obtained it.[4]
When Konrad freed the merfolk in the Bay of Pearls, some nagas protected a storm trident some distance form the shore. One of the released merfolk was able to get past the nagas and claim the storm trident.[2] Later during Konrad's trek through the Ford of Abez, his merfolk claimed another trident in the Great River, despite multiple cuttlefish inhabiting the waters.[3]

| Once again, while Konrad journeyed through the Arkan-thoria, his merfolk came upon yet another storm trident in the shallows, taking it in spite of being surrounded by hostile drakes.[5] |
Kai Krellis's subjects found a storm trident in a pond not too far north from where the Great Ocean met the River Bork, half submerged. Cylanna correctly identified the storm trident and it was swiftly taken.[6]
