The [[Mad Gardener (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|Mad Gardener]] who guarded [[the Conservatory]] of [[the Strange and Wonderful House]] — by all appearances a version of the [[Garden of Eden]] — wielded a flaming sword, although, under his glamour as a wizened old man, it appeared as a machete.

[[ | In [[Jenny Cornelius]]'s [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|universe]] “[[Mr Fell (The Folly of Men)|Mr Fell]]” once had a flaming sword with which he was supposed to defend the Eastern Gate of Eden, but gave it away. He rather regretted it in the 20th century when faced with a surviving [[Hound of Tindalos]], whose kind had best been fought with great amounts of fire by angelkind in the early days; [[Jenny Cornelius]] lent him what she described as [[Jenny Cornelius's lighstaber|her “own” flaming sword]], actually a [[lightsaber]], which worked well enough for their purpose but rather confused the angel, who quibbled with the characterisation of it as a flaming sword as he understood the term even if it literally fit the description.
