Chieftain's Hammer

An elaborate weapon adorned with prized horns, probably trophies from past hunts. At times, the Drak would make sacrifices to their gods in Ark Morgo to channel their elemental affinities. Therefore, this axe of a tribal chief was imbued with the power of lightning to aid in their pursuits.
