The Hammer Of Songs
This warhammer is of an ancient Dwarven design.
Runes cover its every surface, only the handle is
worn smooth by generations of wielders.
Reputedly it was forged by the first king of Hammersong himself
and served as a symbol of royal authority among the
Dwarves for generations. It became imbued with the
Dwarven sense of tradition, justice and law, and is
now a powerful weapon against the forces of chaos.
According to Dwarven legends it was taken into the
final battle of an apocalyptic war hundreds of year ago.
While it helped overcome the enemies of Good and Law,
its wielder fell in the battle and the hammer was lost
for generations. It has now be found again.
While the hammer strikes with terrible force at all times,
it shows its true powers when wielded against those of a
chaotic nature. Each hit is followed by a terribly loud clang,
like the ring of hammer on anvil - only many times amplified.
Often enemies will be stunned by this.
But the weapon also has an influence on its wielder.
He or she will tend to become rigid in his views,
putting law and tradition above everything else.
The hammer will make him or her tend to forget that
justice should be tempered with wisdom and empathy.
