Heartclever
Heartcleaver, the legendary axe wielded by Gila Goldvein in the defense of Steerbright, is a masterpiece of dwarven craftsmanship, embodying the pinnacle of their metallurgical and magical arts. Forged from the rarest metals mined from the deepest veins of Steerbright and imbued with ancient runes of power, Heartcleaver is both a symbol of the dwarven kingdom's might and a testament to Gila's leadership.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
Heartcleaver is imbued with several enchantments. It is unbreakable, capable of withstanding blows that would shatter lesser weapons. The runes along its blades are not merely decorative; they channel elemental forces, allowing the axe to cleave through magical barriers and disrupt spells. Additionally, when wielded in defense of Steerbright's soil, its power magnifies, making it a beacon of hope and a bane to invaders.
History
Heartcleaver was not only a weapon but also a symbol of Gila Goldvein's dedication to her people and their homeland. In her hands, it was a tool of justice, used to protect the weak and uphold the honor of Steerbright. Following the tragic fall of Gila and the dwarven kingdom, Heartcleaver was lost to legend, its whereabouts unknown. It is said that only a leader with a heart as pure and a will as strong as Gila Goldvein's can reclaim Heartcleaver and restore glory to the dwarves of Steerbright.

Raw materials & Components
Heartcleaver boasts a double-bladed head, each edge curved like the crescent moon, honed to a sharpness that can slice through armor as if it were mere cloth. The metal, a luminous alloy known only to the dwarves of Steerbright, gleams with a light that seems to pulse with the very heartbeat of its wielder. Intricate runes, etched along the blades, glow softly with a golden light, their magic ancient and powerful.
The axe's handle, carved from the wood of the Ironbark tree—a species revered by dwarves for its strength and resilience—is wrapped in leather from the hide of the mountain drake, providing an unyielding grip. The pommel bears the emblem of the Goldvein clan, a hammer and anvil crossed over a mountain peak, signifying their mastery over earth and metal.
