The Wings of Del Faldur

The Wings of Del Faldur is the name of the battle axe wielded by the holder of The Mountain Throne. It was first wielded by Gregrick Rubyaxe, founder of The Rubyaxe Dynasty and first King of Del Faldur.

Originally crafted by Boren Stoneforge, one the Great Smiths of The Ancient Era, The Wings of Del Faldur was the sturdiest weapon ever built by a mortal. It was crafted for Gregrick Rubyaxe before he took the band of warriors posthumously named The Falduran Pillars on their quest to establish a homeland for the Dwarven people. The outline of its twin blades were made to resemble the wings of Misurth, the Burned - the dragon tyrant whom it would one day slay.

Among the numerous acts of heroism that have become cannon to the axe's legend, the foremost are those of Gregrick himself and of Golgor Rubyaxe many generations later.

"Just as the children of the mountain had learned to fear the sight of Misurth's wings, so too did Misurth's creatures learn to fear the sight of those wings in steel, for a flash of those blades meant blood, and the Dwarf who held them meant Death." - The Birth of Del Faldur, trans. Common, Volume II, Chapter 4, P6.

When Gregrick and his warriors finally defeated Misurth, Aereth Mountain awoke from a long slumber. It looked back at the heroic deeds of the Faldurans and named them among its children, making for them The Mountain Throne. The mountain gifted Gregrick with The Flame of Aereth, and upon his coronation used its magic to alter The Wings of Del Faldur, adding a socket to hold The Flame of Aereth and fuse the stone's power to the axe.

Also of note is Golgor Rubyaxe's victory over Demon Prince Leos during the War of the Mountain. Though Golgor never shared how he was able to infiltrate the mountain, nor how he was able to overcome Leos, he made it known that he had cleaved the demon's head from its body with The Wings of Del Faldur.
