The Five Tools of Moradin

[tleilaxu]

In AV under the listing for the "Axe of the Dwarvish Lords" artifact, the fluff text mentions it is one of the "Five Tools of Moradin" gifted to the Dwarves. I think this is kind of a neat idea.

I was wondering if any previous publications had mentioned what the other four tools might be, or if not, what you guys think would be cool for the five major Dwarven artifacts.

My thoughts:

- Axe of the Dwarvish Lords
- Uber Dwarven Hammer
- Maybe some sort of Pick?
- Maybe some sort of Anvil?
- Possibly a Shield or something?

How about yours?

There was a 2E adventure, Axe of the Dwarvish Lords, which gives some details on these. By name they're the Brutal Pick, Earthheart Forge, Anvil of Songs, and Shaping Hammer. The axe itself is actually called the Fierce Axe in this context.

The other tools were made to use the axe, and each has about a page of text in the back of the adventure detailing its powers. It's about what you might expect- the pick digs, the forge gets hot, the anvil gives a smith masterwork items, the hammer breaks stuff.

That's rather disappointing. No mug or tankard? Meh.
