Battle Axe +2	AX1H03
Battle Axe +2: ‘Echoes of Dorn’s Deep’ Among the many weapons forged in the shadow of the Spine of World, several bear the mark of dwarven smiths. This magnificent battle axe is no exception. Its steel and balance are testament to the work of a caring weaponsmith, and the axe’s edge is woven with enchantments that allow it to wound even supernatural creatures. Like many weapons of dwarven manufacture, the blade is light, allowing the user to swing the blade more quickly, and the never-dulling edge ensures that the cut is always a clean one. The dwarven runes along the haft spell out the word “Dorn’s,” no doubt a smith’s mark indicating where the weapon was made.

The Celebrant’s Blade	CELEBRA
This beautiful axe was carefully made by Briath Silverhand, a master craftsman and devoted worshipper of Moradin. Briath created the weapon to celebrate the completion of a glorious monument to his god, the father of the dwarven race. He placed it in the monument should a hero need it to liberate Dorn’s Deep at some future date.	Statistics : Damage: 1D8 +4 THACO: +4 Weight: 5 Speed Factor: 3 Game Stats : Price: 24,000 Lore: 95
Faith Killer	FKILLER
This deceptively mundane looking battle axe has a short but strange history. According to philosophers of magic, Faith Killer was enchanted by the non-belief of its owner, the warrior Erion the Skeptic. A rarity in Faerun, Erion was a man who denied the existence of holy magic and the gods themselves. He was known for his attempts to prove that priests were charlatans and holy magic was, in actuality, a different form of standard magic. Sages believe that Erion’s intense opposition to holy men and women actually generated sympathetic magical powers in his weapon. Priests of Selune in Westgate confiscated the axe when they killed Erion in self-defense. It is currently believed that Erion is one of the unbelievers used as a building block in Myrkul’s Bone Castle.
