Four feet of this is the blade, which is as wide as a man's hand. The hilt and pommel are carved in the shape of a warhammer; a pulverising head juts to the left, whilst a four inch spike guards the right. This part of the weapon alone could shatter a man's bones. The blade is broad, as noted above, and has twin channels on each face for the blood. The weapon is made of the finest layered bronze, and decorated with silver and amethysts.That's the kind of flavour text I can use <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
