Jotun Hammer

During the war between giants and titans provocked by Trolerike, the giants' gods intervened.
Stronmaus, the god of Storm giants, forged a hammer to empower his followers in battle against the Titans. The hammer's impact created the Hammerfall Crater, where the storm giants later erected the Hammerfall Citadel.
Bestowed with storm-related abilities and ability to levitate, the sentient hammer, thinking of himself as a storm giant, serve as a symbol of the giant leader, letting himself be wielded only by those fit to rule over the storm giants.

Genesis

Loss of the first army

late 136 BD through 124 BD
In late 136 BD The dragon armies, bolstered by the power and influence of their gods, rapidly conquered vast territories in Siniador, encroaching ever deeper into the giants' lands. In retaliation for the dragon gods' direct involvement, Stronmaus, god of craftmanship, forging and thunder, created a weapon of unparalleled might—the Jotun Hammer—and entrusted it to the storm giants. The hammer was claimed by Lamiza, a formidable storm giantess who soon rose to prominence.
With the dragon armies pressing their assault and targeting major giant settlements, Lamiza took command of the giants' forces. Uniting the scattered remnants of Voninerike’s warriors, she gathered the Army of Jotun. With this newfound strength, Lamiza led her army southwest, navigating the Highlanders Mountains to outflank the dragon armies entrenched in the Wind’s Path Valley.
The decisive battle in the valley saw Lamiza’s leadership shine, as the Army of Jotun dealt a crippling blow to the Second Dragon Army, wounding breathking Sseth and shattering their offensive. Buoyed by their victory, Lamiza pressed her forces further south.
However, a new threat emerged as the First Dragon Army advanced from the south, forcing Lamiza to redirect her forces to intercept them near Crackskull Pass. There, the Army of Jotun and the First Dragon Army clashed in the largest ground battle of the Draco-Giant War. The ferocity of the combat inflicted catastrophic casualties on both sides.
The tide of battle turned with a devastating charge by the heavy hill giants, whose sheer might shattered the First Dragon Army’s ground forces. The battle concluded with the complete destruction of the First Dragon Army, marking a critical turning point in the conflict.

Loss of Siniador

124 BD through 103 BD
The Jotun Army continued its march, advancing steadily toward the Roaring Plains. However, a massive Dragon Army force, comprised of the Fourth Dragon Army and the surviving remnants of the Second Army, rapidly approached. This formidable coalition was determined to crush the Jotun Army and end the giants' resistance once and for all.
Realizing her forces were insufficient to face the combined dragon armies in a direct confrontation, Lamiza devised a cunning strategy. She withdrew her army to Wind’s Path Valley, then led her frost giants to the shores of the Insatiable Lake. There, they used their mastery of ice to construct a massive dam, blocking the lake’s outflow.
As the dragon armies closed in, Lamiza’s fire giants melted the dam with their flames, unleashing a colossal deluge of icy water that swept through the dragon army’s infantry ranks, devastating their ground forces. The battle then shifted to the skies, as the dragons took to the air. In the ensuing aerial clash, the giants used spells like Earthbind to drag dragons from the sky, neutralizing their air superiority.
The giants emerged victorious, dealing a crushing blow to the dragon armies. Over the course of the next 33 years, Lamiza’s leadership and tactical brilliance enabled the giants to systematically clear most of Siniador of dragon forces, bringing a decisive end to the dragons' dominance in the region.
In recognition of her triumph, Lamiza was celebrated with a week-long festival, her name immortalized as one of the greatest heroes of the giants' history.

The second army cunning plan

103 BD through 101 BD
A small group of dragons from the Second Army infiltrated the territories controlled by the Jotun Army, using their ability to shapechange into giants to approach Lamiza unnoticed. Exploiting their deception, they assassinated Lamiza. However, rather than letting news of her death demoralize the giants, the shapechangers decided to usurp her identity. Posing as Lamiza, they manipulated the Jotun Army into walking straight into a trap set by the Fourth and Second Dragon Armies. The Jotun hammer, refused to be wielded by a dragon, a clue that should have given the giants an opportunity to avoid the trap.
The ambush turned into a slaughter, with countless giants falling to the dragons lying in wait. This devastating blow shattered the Jotun Army's resistance and allowed the dragon armies to regain their momentum. They marched unopposed through Siniador, successfully reclaiming the western territories and driving the surviving giants further and further north.
The giants decided that only those able to handle the Jotun hammer should be fit to be lord of giants.

New leader

After the death of their leader in 1130 AD by the hands of Doraka and adventurers, Jotun Hammer refused to select a new leaders, deemed all the candidates unwrthy of wielding him.
By the end of the year 1135 AD that Jotun still refuse for a giantess to wield him, deeming her unworthy. A group of 5 human sized giants interupt their exchange, and the giantess attack them, claiming they4re no giant. The group of small giant managing to kill her in a fierce battle.
Alone with the hammer, Breizh Ankil and Ginette begin to negotiate with it. Rakon, Demia Bose, and Astriane block the door to prevent other giants from interrupting. The hammer declares that it has been searching for a worthy lord of the giants since the death of the last one, a position requiring great strength and honor.
Ginette delivers a convincing speech about Breizh's dignity, strength, and honor. The Jotun Hammer, intrigued by another giant with an unorthodox appearance, is persuaded. As Breizh grabs the handle, the hammer shrinks to fit him.
As Breizh takes hold of the hammer, Rakon, Astriane, and Demia can no longer hold the door, and the giants enter. However, upon seeing Breizh with the hammer, they kneel and address him as the "Little Lord of the Giants."
Breizh declares that he has other business to attend to and must prove his worth to the hammer, but promises to return once he has accomplished this. The giants, respecting his claim, offer the group a boat back to the mainland.

Death of the false leader

After the death of Breizh, the hammer shortly accepts Rakon as a worthy wielder, at least for the duration of the fight against the dragon Sseth. Despite the hardship faced together, the hammer refuses to recognize Rakon as a worthy leader and leave his side to get back to the Giant Island
