Ironfang

Ironfang is a magical war pick. Forged from a single piece of iron, it is inscribed with ancient runes and feels almost weightless when swung in anger. It cannot be marred by rust, acid, or corrosion, and rings with a thunderous blast when striking a foe in combat. It grants its wielder the ability to speak Terran, sense the presence of nearby gems and precious metals, and dominate earth elementals. It contains a spark of the primordial Ogrémoch.

History
It is unknown who forged Ironfang, or when, but it ultimately found its way into the hands of Marlos Urnrayle, prophet of the Cult of the Black Earth who used it to create a portal to the Plane of Earth and summon Ogrémoch into Syra. After Marlos was slain by Kazak and Ogrémoch's avatar destroyed, Leardon Sunflare struck the portal with Ironfang; doing so immediately closed the portal and caused Ironfang to crumble into rust and disintegrate.

Legend
Ru Bae Ya performed a divination on Ironfang. This divination resulted in the following prophecy:


 * ''The lord of earth and stone awaits
 * ''A mortal who will challege the fates
 * ''From iron forged a sharpened key
 * ''Below the ground where none can see
 * ''A monument of shifting stone
 * ''Serves not as an earthen throne
 * ''The gate, in time, the key unlocks
 * ''Let all men fear: the mountain walks
