I needed to gate some units and wanted to increase my leadership, so I made all three, and ... ooh! Surprise, the Awe icon popped on.

All those items increase leadership, and very high leadership value gives you awe.

Are you sure? I've got a prophet running around in a different game with 320 leadership, and he doesn't have awe.

And I've got Aboleths in a different game with higher magic leadership, and they don't have Awe either.

The unit I equipped has this leadership now:
Normal: 115 (15+100)
Magic: 55 (55+25)

Maybe a high leadership bonus, from items or the heroic ability, gives Awe?

Leadership bonus from magic items gives awe after +100 ldr or so. This is why that artifact helm (Crown of Overmight?) gives Awe without it being listed in the manual, or why those twin artifacts (Picus/Procus axes of leadership) give Awe when wielded together.
