+ | Artifact Lore Vol. III |
+ | Hafted Weapons |
+ ------------------------
+
+The Mighty Hammer 'Grond'
+ The mighty Hammer of the Underworld, blackened by doomspells of
+ shattering, whose wielder holds the lives of all Morgoth's servants in his
+ hand.
+
+The Flail 'Totila'
+ A flail whose head befuddles those who stare as you whirl it around, and
+ becomes a fiery comet as you bring it down.
+
+The Two-Handed Flail 'Thunderfist'
+ The long-lost weapon of Kzurin, Dwarven champion of ancient Belegost, with
+ runes of strength in its handle, and flames and sparks that roar and
+ crackle around its massive head.
+
+The Morning Star 'Maegnas-in-sereg'
+ You feel strong and firm of foot as you whip the chain-suspended spiked
+ orb around - and bathe it in the blood of your foes.
+
+The Morning Star 'Naurgil'
+ A famed battle-lord of old, with a ruddy head, coloured as embers are that
+ can yet rise up in wrath.
+
+The Mace 'Taratol'
+ A great ridged mace that calls around you a nimbus of living lightning;
+ you remain utterly untouched even as fat sparks arc around your fingers
+ and eyebrows.
+
+The War Hammer of Gamil Zirak
+ Gamil Zirak was a great craftsman, the master of Telchar of Nogrod. This
+ weapon was rescued from Thingol's treasury, and it is rumoured that its
+ wielder need not fear dragons or other fell beings of the Dark.
+
+The Quarterstaff 'Nar-i-vagil'
+ Named for a fiery star and set with gems of great worth binding mystic
+ virtues of protection and thought.
+
+The Quarterstaff 'Eriril'
+ The radiant golden staff of an Istari of legend, this wizard's companion
+ grants keen sight and the knowledge of many hidden things.
+
+The Quarterstaff of Olorin
+ A staff tall and sturdy, with rough-hewn runes that invoke the element of
+ Earth, and which strikes down all creatures who live in the shadow of
+ mountains.
+
+The Mace of Disruption 'Nguruthos'
+ A weapon so massive it seems beyond the strength of mortals, yet you feel
+ the might of giants within you as you heft it. As you grip the handle of
+ ebony and steel, coronas of fire blaze and mighty spells to preserve magic
+ activate around you. It is named 'Fear of Death' - you wield the Fear of
+ Dragons and the Despair of the Undead.
+
+The Lucerne Hammer 'Turmil'
+ Wielded by the High Priest of Meneltarma, this great mace gleams coldly as
+ though moonlit, and it can strike as mighty a blow spiritually as
+ physically.
+
+The Whip of Gothmog
+ With this unbearably bright whip of flame, the Balrog Gothmog has become
+ known for never having lost in combat.
+
+The Whip 'Lasher'
+ A powerful whip that is deadly against orcs. It poisons your foes and is
+ said to go "snicker snack".
+
+The Ball-and-Chain of Fundin Bluecloak
+ The weapon of one of the great dwarven priests, with powers to preserve
+ body, soul and enchantments, and the bane of those who seek life beyond
+ death.
+
+The Lead-Filled Mace 'Dolcrist'
+ This mighty bludgeon brings destruction to all around it, and is the bane
+ of dragons and magic. Skull-cleaver (or head-cleaver) it is called.
+
+The Quarterstaff of Radagast
+ Rumored to be a gift from Yavanna to Radagast the Brown, this
+ plain-seeming oak staff shields its bearer against the elements and helps
+ him fight off malicious beasts (such as the goblins' Warg-steeds). It
+ also grants exceptional insight into Nature magic, and can even cause
+ trees or healing herbs to spring forth at the bearer's command.
+
+The Mage Staff of Saruman
+ A white quarterstaff that faintly gleams a pale white, it once belonged to
+ one of the most powerful beings on Middle-Earth, Saruman the White.
+ Saruman fell into shadow, and the staff left him during his travels. As
+ you wield it, you become much more attuned to magic.
+
+The Quarterstaff of Thranduil
+ The carven oak staff of the King of the Woodland Realm, this weapon is a
+ fighter's best friend in a forest.
+
+The Mage Staff of Forochel
+ A shaft of pure, invincible crystal cut from the heart of one of the great
+ glaciers ringing the Ice-Bay of Forochel. While you hold it, your mind feels
+ as clear as the winter sky.
+
