The Helm of Awe (Ægishjálmr) is an Icelandic magical stave used for protection, fearlessness, and psychological dominance. Historically, it was believed to instill terror in enemies and protect the wearer from spiritual and physical harm.
It appears in the Völsunga saga, where the hero Sigurd takes a physical object called the "Helm of Terror" from the slain dragon Fafnir’s hoard — a symbol of power meant to be worn, not hidden.
