Alberich's Axe

In ages passed, Alberich Stonecutter climbed to the top of Mounting Fire, and reputedly singlehandedly combated a vicious Balrog Demon that is said to have been toward the summit. The battle lasted for many hours, as the two combatants fought ferociously. However, before the conclusion of the battle, his prized great axe was shattered by the Evil Balrog, and casted into the swirling fires of the volcano. In a desperate plead for survival, Alberich launched his final assault against the Balrog with a large piece of Obsidian. Though Alberich proved successful in his great fight, he was mortally wounded from the battle and was unable to survive the journey to base of the mountain. Miraculously however, the pieces of his axe were somehow recovered and reforge with the piece of Obsidian Alberich had used to deliver the fatal blow to the Balrog, to become a far more potent weapon than it had been originally. The Pride of the Stonecutter clan, and favored weapon of their chosen champion, Alberich's axe is a legendary two-bladed great axe specializes in defeating many different evil planar beings. Being imbued with Obsidian glass created by the fires of Mounting Fire also bestows a great resistance the fire element to the wielder, as well as a flaming attack at the choice of the owner.
