Forged by the Aedrinarian rune-smith Tara Strong-Arm, the axe of Frigga is a magical piety weapon associated with the Honoured God and Vanir Frigga, patron of the Ice Elves and mother of magic and cats. Originally created for Killyn, the axe is now in the possession of Gallus.
Ownership
Created for Killyn, the axe was not finished until after their death and ascension to Valhalla. Collected by Azura, the wizard held onto it until passing the axe on to Ivar. Ivar used the axe during their battles in Jameleska before trading it with Gallus.
Construction
Rune-Smithing is an ancient art of weapon crafting, embedding steel with divine runes and adding incense, magical components, and casting spells on the fires whilst praying and chanting ancient hymns. This ties the power of an honoured god with the weapon, and the more its wielder honours that god and their ideals the more powerful the weapon grows.
