Keenfire as depicted in the video game based of the book description, Markus Heitz, The Dwarves. |
Weapon (greataxe), artifact (Requires attunement)
The legendary Dwarven axe Keenfire, the axe lost for ages, with the power to kill and destroy any evil, no matter how strong they may be. The power of Keenfire protects the wielder and those close to them.
Destroyer of Evil. This axe can kill everything, no matter the resistance, or magic (EX: can hit a ghost with no difficulty, can kill a lich and he would stay dead for longer then normal and could destroy a lich phylactery with ease) but only if you are an enemy of the dwarves, but still fight for good(true good, not what the wielder thinks is good). Say if a dwarf was cursed to turn into a mind flare, then for the time they are still themselves, they could wield Keenfire with ease and use its power, but the mind flare would not be able to, or if you are a thirdling you could also wield Keenfire as long as it is for good.
Protection from Evil. An antimagic field is extended 10 feet around you, but only effects your enemies and does not effect your party.
In the Wrong Hands. If wielded by someone who otherwise would be worthy but uses the axe for the wrong reasons, the antimagic field weakens to 5 feet and the person is considered to be NOT proficient in the weapon, along with the inability to destroy magic items.
Destroying the Keenfire. The axe can't be destroyed by anyone other then the dwarves god Vraccas, but is powerless in any other hands then the enemy of the dwarves who chooses to fight with the dwarves against evil instead of for evil.
