Aegis-fang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional world of the Forgotten Realms, Aegis-fang (derived from the mythical shield Aegis) is the weapon of Wulfgar, son of Beornegar of the Elk Tribe. It was forged for him by his adoptive father Bruenor Battlehammer while he was in servitude of the dwarf king. It was Bruenor's finest creation. Its head is made from pure Mithril with a diamond coating magically adhered during the forging and an adamantite shaft. Its head is engraved with magical inscriptions which are covered by the symbols of Dumathoin, "keeper of secrets under the mountain", the dwarven god of knowledge, and Clangeddin, the dwarven god of battle.
It is a large and heavy, perfectly balanced Dwarven war hammer. Any person not standing over 6'5" and with considerable strength will have a hard time wielding it properly. It is magically attuned to Wulfgar and will reappear in his hand upon command.
Wulfgar has been trained extensively with this weapon. He has used it in two battles against dragons, Icingdeath and Shimmergloom, both times ending in victory. He also used it in a battle beside Drizzt Do'Urden and Bruenor Battlehammer against the balor, Errtu, again ending in victory for the companions.
