Forged long ago by the First King of the Dwarves, with the aid of the mighty god Moradin, the Axe of the Dwarvish Lords brought peace to all of the Dwarven kingdoms for a time. Then, once a civil war broke out, the axe was lost, and the great peace with it. 

The weapon is as much a tool as it is an instrument of war. It is forged of gold, bronze, iron, and silver, and dozens of gemstones line its surface. It grants incredible accuracy, resilience, and versatility to its wielder. While Whelm was reminiscent of Mjolnir, this conjures thoughts of Stormbreaker. 

The axe can be used to summon an earth elemental, drawing on the powers of the earth itself. While underground, the wielder can use the axe to transport themselves and other creatures miles away with extreme accuracy. Aboveground, this feature functions with less predictability. 

The axe also curses a non-Dwarf who wields it, changing their appearance to appear more and more dwarflike over time. Of all the curses in the world, this one doesn’t seem so bad. 

If it is wielded by a dwarf, additional benefits are granted, such as immunity to poison, increased darkvision, and enhanced forging and crafting abilities.
