Tharim's Hammer Myth
Summary
Tharim Cludon Fireforge of Mt. Mundett in Edherrand during the eye of a magical lightening storm forged two mystical hammers within Mt. Mundett, a volcano. At the final strike of the second hammer lifting them up to the sky, Tharim thanked Tempus for the guidance and ability to craft such a fine piece of weaponry. The storm plaguing the mountain for weeks imploded in dark blue and purple cloud and vanished. As the storm imploded the hammers fell to the ground and Tharim was gone.
Tharim to this day is known as the first blacksmith king who disappeared after forging the hammers. For a few years the hammers could be seen in the volcano from the right angle, but due to the heat and where it was placed no one could get to it. At some point, unknown the timing by the masses, the hammers were replaced by two hammers in the cloak of the night.
The Mundett Clan blacksmiths woke up to find their forges worn down, dingy, and some of the better quality forges were broken and three of the best blacksmiths were missing. To this day the hammer known as Tharim’s Hammer is missing and blacksmiths through the world are still coming up missing.
