A massive dark stone war hammer with glowing orange cracks, a wooden handle, and chains, set in a fiery, dark fantasy environment.

Name: The Spinebreaker Type: Two-handed war maul Appearance: • Shaft made from dark, ironwood reinforced with riveted steel bands, scarred with gouges from old battles. • The head is a massive block of forged black iron, one side flattened for bone-crushing impact, the other ending in a jagged spike for piercing armor. • Deep cracks in the head glow faintly with a molten orange hue, as though the metal itself holds an embered fury. • Leather wrapping along the grip is stained with both oil and dried blood, giving it a grim, well-used look. • Iron chains hang from the back, clinking with each swing, weighted with hooks to catch shields or limbs. Functionality: • Impact Side: Delivers shattering blows that can pulverize bone through plate. • Spike Side: Designed to breach armor or lodge into shields for disarming. • Chain Hooks: Useful for pulling enemies off balance or dragging weapons from their grasp. Drawbacks: • Slow and heavy — requires immense strength to wield effectively. • The heat from the molten seams can burn the wielder if held too long without gauntlets. Lore: Originally forged for an executioner who served in the Iron Wars, the weapon was never meant for mercy. Stories claim that every time it breaks a spine, the molten cracks burn brighter for a few seconds — as if feeding on the life it takes. See more
