Axe of the Culling
So many tales surround these axes that it is difficult to determine which are true. They have been linked to kings, celestials, dark gods, and obnoxious dwarves, but in all cases they were used to destroy some meddlesome wizard or another. Scholars suggest that the weapons were created by a single person; someone wishing either the destruction of all spellcasters, or simply the troublesome ones.

Axe of the Holy
Not everyone who battles the undead is a paladin or a cleric. It is said that the blacksmith Irem possessed such a pure hatred for the unliving that his greataxe adopted aspects of Irem's personality, resulting in the powers the axe possesses today. Most mages, however, scoff at the idea of a magical weapon being created through such a process. Whatever the axe's true origins, its effectiveness against the undead is undeniable.

Gruumsh Hand
Orcs tell of a great hero who wore no armor, and how the god Gruumsh gifted him with an axe to protect him in battle. He eventually became the avatar of that fearsome deity, and broke his weapon into many pieces to seed it among the orc hordes. Other cultures don't recognize the tale, but orcs don't care. After all, their legends also say that all the other races are born of swine, and what are the opinions of pigs worth?

When Mulhorand's rebellious wizards opened Faerûn to the invasion known as the Orcgate Wars, the avatars of the deities descended from the heavens to do battle.
