Axe of Clanggeddin (Blood and Scale Supplement)
From D&D Wiki
[edit] History
Legends state that this 200 foot tall statue of Clanggeddin is, in fact, the earthly form that the dwarven god takes and that the enormous axe is truely Clanggeddin's personal weapon. The doubleheaded axe is made from an enormous single piece of adamantine with the haft crafted from the entire trunk of some giant tree. The axe is immune to damage, magic, is razor sharp along both immense edges and the head glows with an other-worldly blue light that is only visible to those with dwarf-blood. Dwarven clerics have created a massive religous center in the cliff's surrounding the statue and hold daily services. Dwarves, especially warriors, try to make at least one pilgrimage here in their life and stay to take part in the monthly ritual blooding.
[edit] The Blooding
The blooding is a ritual meant to bond a dwarf more closely with the fighting spirit of Clanggeddin. Many dwarves participate in the day long ritual which culminates in slashing themselves on the razor sharp giant axe head and bathing a favorite weapon in the blood that flows from the wound. The wound closes quickly and leaves a faint scar that bears the same blue glow from the axe head. The proud bearers of this scar gain a +2 circumstance bonus to (ADD LIST) skills when dealing with a dwarf. There is also a slim 5% chance that the ritual participant gains a permanent +1 holy bonus to attack and damage when fighting enemies of an evil alignment.
