History
The fictional legends within the D&D game state that it was forged by the First King of the dwarves for the honor of the god Moradin, and that it was lost after the Invoked Devastation and Rain of Colorless Fire. It was the last of the Five Great Tools; the others were the Brutal Pick, the Earthheart Forge, the Anvil of Songs, and the Shaping Hammer. These other four tools were used to make the fifth. Legend has it that when the Axe is found again, the Age of High Kings will return and the dwarven people will be reunited at last.
