Gravecannons
The Gravecannons were a pair of weapons of mass destruction created by the Morlocks during their attempted conquest of Lothal. Each was made by magically fusing countless Gravestones together (made from normal gems provided by the group's duergar allies) into the shape of a massive cannon. Along with the necrotic magic of the Gravestones, the cannons tapped directly into the power of the Void to further increase their power.
The first cannon was a prototype built atop the Giantsheel Mountains. The Morlocks intended to fire it at the town of Inkhear, turning most of the country's adventurers and the rest of the town's populace into an army of undead. However, Gentleman Jack discovered their plot and warned the other adventurers in time for them to launch an attack against the cannon. While most of the adventurers battled the Morlocks main forces, the Headhunters snuck up the mountain and managed to disable the cannon.
The second cannon was built directly into Levira's flying fortress, firing on several towns and killing everyone in them once her castle took to the sky. The Headhunters were able to storm the castle with help from Shimmerscale and Q'xakth. After Levira's death, the cannon (and castle's) connection to The Void was severed. At the same time, Rhith used his reclaimed Quintus Gem to disable all the Gravestones and rendered the cannon completely inert. Its gemstone body was shattered and destroyed when Levira's falling castle crashed into the ground.
