The Hammer of Sigmar, Ghal Maraz, was wielded by the famed founder of the Empire, Sigmar Heldenhammer. It was gifted to him by the Dwarf King Kurgan Ironbeard after Sigmar rescued him from a band of Greenskins. The hammer itself was crafted by Alaric the Mad and like many Dwarf weapons, contains immense power in the form of Runes.

When Sigmar abdicated he left Ghal Maraz behind as a symbol of the Emperor's authority. It has since been passed down from Emperor to Emperor, and is currently held by Karl Franz. During the Storm of Chaos however, Karl Franz granted the hammer to Valten, Sigmar's champion, to wield. Upon Valten's death the hammer presumably passed back to Karl Franz.
