Great Axe of the North

Description
"The giants answered with roars like the grinding of icebergs on a frozen shore and heaved up their shining axes as the maddened Cimmerian hurled himself upon them."

- The Frost Giant's Daughter

A weapon that combines the razor edge of the Great Sword with the momentum and weight of the Warhammer, the Great Axe is a vehicle of savagery and slaughter.

The brutish strength required to swing the weapon with any degree of accuracy means that the weapon is rarely wielded by commoners. More often it is reserved for the ceremonial guards of kings where it is used to convey power and presence. Tsotha-lanti, a Kothian wizard, is known to keep a guard of slaves - chosen for their intimidating height - equipped with these long handled axes.

In battle, a warrior who can control the weapon can create a whirlwind of steel around themselves, forcing their foes to stay at a distance or be torn to shreds.
