Grimgore Axehand
Stalwart protecter of Citadel, nemisis of Illithid and Shadow Elves
An account of the early years of Grimgore as told by Blackhammer Axehand...

...And there he was at a ripe age 40, Grimgore...Grimgore... thats such a silly name he has come up with for himself now isnt it? From now on we'll call him Phillius as mum rightly named him, the skinny little hairles weekling that he is. I mean he can't even get properly blessed without hurtin himself, and not the brightest torch in the cavern if you dont mind my sayinn, in fact he's not quite on level with the dimmest...how embarrassing it is. now I've been tryin for years to teach the lad the work of his forefathers.. a noble trade, for you see i am the cheif weaponmaker to King Grandhorn himself like my father before me and his father before him. So it has passed on narry a thousand years from father to eldest son until now I'm afraid. Phillius never has been able to understand... well maybe he understands, but he just cant quite figure out the right way to put hammer to steel. ... i mean look at that! (gesturing to a large pile of ruble layin in the corner of his workshop). This is the collection of the best work my son has ever turned out. It's enough to make this old Dwarf wanna through himself to the abyss. Now let me see... It's no wonder now he joined the military that year. Phillius always fancied wavin the weapons i made round his head rather than makin his own though i can't say for sure how he thought he would survive bein the frail litle thing he was but sure enough....

It is at this point I must say that it was many tankerds of ale and a right many days later before blackhammer had become blessed enough to finish this tale

...and so it was a mere (hicup) 60 years later that the bloke returns (hicup)home to tell his father he's given up the rank of seargent and retired to come back and bang on metal with 'is (hicup) dear old dad. (hicup) (hicup)So for the last ten years I've 'ad to put up with his (hicup) grim attitude (hicup), bad temper (hicup), and rediculous new name (hicup)! However I will say that at least he finnally is startin to see how to shape a weapon and give life to steel. Poor bloke dunno if he'll ever be any good but at least he's tryin (hicup). Still never said much about the years he was away mind you! The war with the Drow and the Illithid raged on durring his time in the king's service, Thor only knows what he's seen but he doesn't even tell tales always too preocupied. Then two days ago (hicup) he recieved a summons to see Grandhorn. A bit of a shock (hicup)since in one-hundred and ten years they have all been for me. (hicup) then nothing more than "Ill be back as soon as I can." he grabbed his axe, his damaged blood smeared breast plate, and from that pile an object that until then had gone (hicup) unnoticed by my eye. A rather finely crafted heavy steel shield with several gnarrelled spikes protruding from it and with that he was gone...so here I be (hicup) waitin. Just hope he 's back afore my days (hicup) are done...

And with that final note about Phillius Blackhammer begin to sleep of his blessing.
