A Dwarven Waraxe for ArdentScholar.

Here's his description of it:

The Dwarves of the bitter peak mountains are known not only for their ability to delve beneath the rocks of the high foot hills but also in harvesting the great iron wood trees that grow along it’s craggy sides. Theses trees are “tough as the dwarves that work them” and thus it is said only a good dwarven axe will fell them. Of course this is said by the dwarves themselves for the most part, but none the less has given birth to the legend of the dwarven woodsmen ability to cut a tree in a single stroke with one of their mighty axes. There is no doubt that such an axe would make a fine weapon of war and as such the Dwarves carry the deadly weapons to war as much for the reputation as for the keen edge.

In this tale however the axes spoken of are not known for their edge, quite the contrary. In the fell years of the hobgoblin taking of Gurnst halls a lone dwarf fell from grace at the hands of dark dealings. He would become known as the fallen son. The Doro. Thourngrim the fallen son would not dishonour the memory of his fathers fathers by using his axes. So he did what was required by his lost honour. He blunted the blades. Turned the fine edges of his twin axes to the blunt working ends of savage weapons. No longer a fine cut would these weapons deliver. Now a brutal impact. Shattering bone and metal in equal measure.

Characters change. And in this there is story and game elements. I wanted the character to work with hammers but the back story was all axe so with some evolving story plots and the help of a good DM, The dwarven war axes Thourngrim carried were turned into warhammers.

I hope I did a close approach of your axe.

The Dwarven god gives a lot of personality to the head, and the pattern looks good I think
