HISTORY

Bloodcrier's Hammer is one of the great weapons wielded by the ancient dwarven folk hero Bhazad Khrar. While the dwarves still refer to their hero with the proper pronunciation, in wider circles the name is remembered more for the properties of the weapon than the original wielder. So, "Bloodcrier" is the name that Khrar bears in many myths. Some ascribe hidden powers to Bloodcrier's Hammer. It has been debated, however, whether these abilities were in the hammer or were part of Khrar's own repertoire.

Bhazad Khrar is the supposed descendant of a mortal son of Moradin and was of mightier mettle than most dwarves of his age. Many exploits are attributed to Bloodcrier: founding a mine that pierced to the center of the earth, discovering mithral ore, and stemming an orc invasion. During mining explorations, Bhazad Khrar won his warhammer by defeating an entity known as an Earthmagus.

Once the weapon was his, Bhazad Khrar woke within it powers greater still. Soon, news of the hammer's theft from its Earthmagus guardian reached a group of similar beings called the Conclave at the Heart. Upset at the theft and concerned at the waking abilities of the hammer, the Conclave decided to recover the weapon and kill its wielder. In these tasks they were successful. After the Conclave at the Heart slew Bhazad, Bloodcrier's Hammer fell out of common knowledge and into legend. Three hundred years later, the barbarian lord Huragam found the hammer within an erupted earth crust while on a personal vision quest out in the barren scablands. Taking the discovery of the weapon as a sign, he returned to his tribe weak, weary, and at the edge of death. During Huragam's recovery, he never once relinquished his grasp on the warhammer. When his full strength finally returned to him, he knew the weapon was the tool he had long sought to carve out an empire larger than any barbarian lord before. Upon Huragam's death a century later, the barbarian shamans interred him with the hammer, despite his insistence to the contrary. He believed that to do so would allow the weapon to fall into the hands of what he called "vengeful spirits of stone and earth".
