Hammer of the Witches
The Hammer of the Witches is a famous Great Cannon of the Empire. [1a]
History
It had been part of the four cannon batteries at Fort Oberstyre and was one of the few recovered when the mighty castle was taken by the undead. [1a]
In 2502 IC it was under repair in the smithy in Gorstanford when the Witch known as the Grey Hag was sentenced to be burned alive. Yet when the pyre was lit - she did not burn [1a]- instead the flames leapt out to burn the nearby buildings as she laughed hysterically. [1a]
Bennec Sootson, the blacksmith hastily primed and loaded the cannon with a bucket of horseshoes and fired it at the Witch who was blasted apart by the impact. He became part of the crew and together they have claimed many witches and warlocks since the Gorstandford Fire. [1a]
In 2520 IC it became part of the grand army of Talabecland
