This one-handed warhammer is an orkmade weapon. One the head of the hammer, the basic knowledge of the Guhvuul (orkish meditation technique to control the gahad) is engraved. True Fire is weaved into the hammer in such a way that if used in melee combat, the words "Live WithoutRestraint" appear on the target if an excellent success is achieved on the attack test. The hammer in its original form (before the inscription and the Elemental Fire were embedded) was found by the Warrior Aluuk WithoutRestraint in the ruins of Parlainth, apparently used by an unlucky ork adventurer. The hammer helped fighting off some theran slavers, so Aluuk decided to name the trove and added later the described extensions. The wearer of the hammer paid a weaponsmith to incorporate elemental air into the hammer, such that the hammer returned to his hand, if he wanted to. A while later the characters met the ghost of the Troll Warrior Jung from the lands of Cathay. The wearer of the hammer decided to help the spirit find peace in his home lands. The group's nethermancer bound the spirit into the hammer and in exchange for their promise to bring the spirit to Cathay, the spirit promised to help the characters in any way he will be able to. Note: This hammer was actually found in one of our game session. Since the player really established a connection and a story with the hammer and also added some magical add-ons i decided to make it a thread item (Also they freed a village of slavers and the character used only this hammer to make a difference). |

If the spirit has reached its Death Rating, the spirit returns to the nether worlds. In this case a nethermancer has to summon and bind the spirit again into the hammer. |
