Lore

Forged in the sunken workshops of a cult that predated the first temples, this mace was commissioned to answer the rise of divine armies — a weapon built not to challenge faith, but to make faith irrelevant. The runic script woven into its stone was sourced from a blasphemous tongue older than prayer itself, a language that the minerals absorbed and held the way bone holds marrow.

Effect

Strikes from this weapon unravel divine shielding and celestial reinforcement on contact, converting each blow into a force that bypasses consecrated protection entirely, landing with full weight against the sacred flesh beneath. Against creatures sustained by holy power, the damage seeps inward like cold through stone, persisting beyond the initial impact.

Appearance

The head is a brutal mass of dark grey runic stone, wide and flanged with squared crushing edges, its surface crosshatched with faintly luminous script that pulses a deep, bruised violet from within the mineral itself rather than upon it — the glyphs shifting slowly like ink dissolving in still water. The grip is wrapped in blackened leather over a dense iron core, the wrapping tight and methodical with no ornamentation, bound at both ends by thick iron collars stamped with a simple repeating ward-break sigil.
