Dwarven Bar-axe - a tiny silver axe that dwarves use to safely settle disputes in bars, usually in bar-axe throwing contests. Each Bar-axe is unique, and they are as intimately tied to a Dwarf's concept of honor and status as his beard. Unfortunately, the Bar-axe was also the touchpoint for the first 5 Dwarf - Elf Wars because the Elves thought Bar-axes were fancy swizzle sticks for mixed drinks, and the taciturn dwarves didn't correct them.
