The '''Riven Daggers''' were written into the [[Riven]] [[Descriptive Book]] by [[Catherine]] to provide a distraction during [[Atrus]]'s battle with Gehn.  They were 10 to 20 feet in size, and each of different design.

The dagger that appeared next to the [[Star Fissure]] on [[Temple Island]] is the most well known of the five daggers.  The likeness of this dagger was adopted by the [[Moiety]], a group of [[Rivenese]] who witnessed Atrus's battle with Gehn.  Known as the [[Moiety dagger]], it came to symbolize the struggle against Gehn.  The Moiety left mini-daggers scattered throughout Riven to remind others of their presence.

Upon the collapse of Riven, the Moiety Dagger fell into the Star Fissure.  Like many things that fell into the Star Fissure, it eventually found its way to [[Earth]].  It can now be found in the caldera of the [[volcano]] near the [[cleft]] in New Mexico.

Another dagger fell onto Gehn's temple, causing its destruction.  Gehn later built [[Temple of Gehn|another temple]] on top of this dagger.  By the time of the collapse of Riven, the dagger is no longer visible, but is presumably buried somewhere on [[Temple Island]].

A model of the Fissure dagger is hanging on a wall in [[Cyan]]'s studio.
