Jotun Hammer Item in Toriel | World Anvil

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.  

history

New leader

With the Death of the storm giants' leader in 1133 AD, many are those trying to claim the hammer. but the hammer refuses to acknowledge any of the candidate as potential leaders.   In 1134 AD, a group of adventurers, looking for the hammer manage to get a hold of it, yet the hammer refuses to shrink to fit in the palm of Breizh Ankil's hand, who was disguised, alongside the rest of the party, as a small storm giant by Demia Bose.   However, Ginette pleads Breizh cause, just like the Hammer, Breizh is a storm giant, and his unconventional physique shouldn't let a giant such as Jotun be fooled. On top of that, Breizh has already proved his worth in the fights that he had to endure to get a hold of the hammer.   The hammer, convinced by Ginette's words, shrinks down and recognizes Breizh as a brother in arm.  

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
