Forgeheart (Mace)

Appearance
A long-hafted mace with a 6-sided flanged head, this Forgeheart appears to be rusted or worn because of its mottled gray-silver colour. In reality, this is due to weapon being smelted from pure meteorite. A perfectly spherical orb extracted from the core of a dead star lies at its centre - if one is very still, they may feel a faint vibration originating from this point.

History
Decades ago the core of a dead star was discovered deep with the Dungeon by a crew of Grinder Dwarves. Aware that it would not be possible for them to transport the find, they instead sold their knowledge of its location to the renowned golem blacksmith Bellows. The golem so desired access to the material that it built a new refinery around the star itself, and over years slowly extracted the metal to create its first series of weapons and armour. Each individual piece of this set was named Forgeheart to acknowledge their origin. Eventually much of this equipment was stolen by rebellious members of The Church (who maintain a particular hatred of golems), which in turn was stolen by looters and brigands, which in turn ended up in the hands of Jörg of Wyndham.

Abilities
The first thing one will notice upon swinging Forgeheart is its self-driven momentum. The dead star at its centre generates its own centrifugal force once in motion, amplifying the power behind every swing - but at the same time - being extremely difficult to stop moving once started.

When something is hit by Forgeheart they feel two impacts: the first with the force of the wielder's strength, and moments later, the second, with the force of the star’s strength. Forgeheart’s supernatural second impact is entirely independent to the first, and the damage that it causes is purely internal. Bones will shatter despite armour being barely dented. Stone walls will crack from the inside, becoming as brittle as eggshell afterwards. Organs will rupture without the skin having been broken.

Destroying Forgeheart would be catastrophically bad: refer to rules for receiving damage from a small-scale supernova in close proximity."Stellar Remnant: Forgeheart deals damage as a masterwork iron mace, plus twice that in internal trauma (of a magical and/or ‘cosmic’ type damage, depending on system played). Organic creatures struck begin bleeding internally, and inorganic objects lose 50% of hardness per strike."
