A Gear for Creation based in Atlas can make sense though why would gods have anything to do with machinery? Vacuo seems to have the Sword of Destruction. The more puzzling one would be why would crossed axes represent choice? The axes are from an Aesop fable: "The Honest Woodsman". Guy drops axe in river, Mercury (the god, not the RWBY one) offers him a silver axe, then a gold axe. The woodsman denies that he dropped either, so Mercury gives him back his regular axe and the silver & gold ones as a reward for his honesty.
