Description:
Gulen Rockfire, Slayer of Undead, crafted this powerful throwing axe expressly for
reinforcing his claim to his namesake. Blessed by a cross-section of gods, this weapon
does phenomenal damage against creatures unwisely rebelling against their deceased status,
and can potentially destroy them in a single blow. Obviously Gulen no longer carries
Azuredge, and it is rumored that he died fighting a powerful vampire years ago, only to
rise as one himself. This may have softened his stance regarding the undead, at the very
least prompting a change of name.

Item Code: AX1H10
Description:
Bala was a foul-tempered prince of a gully dwarf clan, which was enslaved by a cruel elven
mage in Thesk. Though Bala managed to escape the more cowardly traits of his race he was
even more filthy and obnoxious than the average gully dwarf. Sickened of his enslavement,
Bala crept into the mage's lair and cracked the elf's skull open. Although rumor has it
that it was the dwarf's stench that overcame the mage, it was, in fact, his enchanted axe
that dispelled the elf's magical defenses. It is obvious from the poor workmanship that
Bala himself crafted the axe. The mystery lies in where its power originates. After a
lengthy career of mage-slaying, Bala died, never having revealed his secret to those who
were willing to risk a lice infestation by approaching him. Some say that the axe was
powered by Bala's intense hatred of wizards. The axe gives the owner the ability to dispel
magic once a day.

Description:
This was the axe of Illgarth, a Frost Giant that terrorized northern communities long
ago. It is not known where he acquired the weapon, but he took a perverse pleasure in
unleashing it upon small folk, particularly halflings. Ice and acid maimed those not
killed, and the giant would laugh coldly if he recognized his handiwork from a previous
visit. Ultimately a group did manage to kill him, and at the request of his victims
Frostreaver was buried with him.

The Stonefires were an old lineage of dwarves, and the eldest male of the line carried
this axe, an heirloom of utmost importance. Unfortunately they were decimated in 1150DR,
falling in a mere two years to a mysterious plague. Ulgan, keeper of the axe, fled in the
hopes of escaping the inevitable, but he died several weeks later. His body was found in
the Cloakwood Forest, but the axe was missing.

Hangard's Axe +2: Hangard's Axe of Hurling
Description:
If this weapon had a lofty beginning, it has been overshadowed by the exploits of its most
famous owner, Hangard the dwarf. Hangard made a habit of trying to knock melons and apples
off the heads of comrades. He missed more often than not, due in part to an unfortunate
fondness for ale.

Description:
This Axe of Hurling is one of the most heavily enchanted weapons of its type. Its
markings are vaguely dwarven, but no dwarf yet encountered on Faerun has claimed a kinship
with the maker. This causes some to speculate that it may not be the product of a
terrestrial dwarven hand, rather some extra-planar variant. Dwarves laugh this off, of
course, claiming the maker likely has no time for nosey scholars.
