No special groups seeks this item; it's just one of the general items to draw the elite collectors.The hammer is a symbol to the Gnomish people, all right..and a tribute to Edgar "the Bold Liar".  Every gnome dreams of a chance to add a little tidbit to the history of the hammer, smuggling forged accounts into the great libraries of the land, perhaps even making new "more authentic" versions of the hammers to put into the public eye...at place like this action.The hammer is one of the great practical jokes in gnomish history.  But it serves another purpose as well, reminding the gnomes not to be swayed by "history" or great tales, and to evaluate an item as it really is.  In this case, just a hammer.Although this one is the original the Edgar made so long ago.Perhaps!</blockquote>
