The Soul Hammer

Barakor is a versatile weapon. It can be wielded in either one hand or two hands depending on the wielder's need. Barakor is made from the finest adamantine, gold, and diamond. It is expertly crafted, and a thing of utter beauty to any master dwarven craftsman with the skill to recognize its flawless craftsmanship. It is made in the image of The Hammer of All Souls the warhammer wielded by the dwarven god Moradin. Once attuned, it may not be unattuned until the original crafter/attuner has died, the hammer is destroyed, or Moradin revokes his blessing and the Champion's title.

Barakor is a significantly magically enhanced adamatine warhammer, and is exceptionally durable, but it is not indestructible.

In the hands of a follower of Moradin who exemplifies their god's values, this hammer grants the ability to consult the knowledge of the dwarven god, Moradin. They must have mastered the arts of both combat and blacksmithing, follow the righteous path of their god and people, and receive divine spells from their deity. In the hands of a true hero who dedicates themselves to the craft, they become exceptionally skilled at blacksmithing and stoneworking. Their physical health and stamina greatly improves. The weapon is exceptionally powerful and returns when thrown, as Moradin's own weapon does, and makes more deadly strikes against evil beings.

Moradin is strict, and the powers of this item are only made available to those who follow their teachings. They lose these powers if they stray from their righteous path or attack another good aligned character.

 Barakor's Lineage

Soulhammers are living weapons, gifted by Moradin to his chosen champions in times of need. Soulhammers are often crafted to overcome a specific issue or enemy and as such each Soulhammer is imbued with unique abilities beyond their shared traits. Over the lifetime of each relic the needs of its wielder may change, and the Soulhammer may change with them. The memory of these traits are known as the Soulhammer's lineage and can be uncovered by its wielder with time and proficiency.

The Land of Mist and Monsters: Barakor was created by Moradin to aid the dwarves of Mount Baratok of ancient Barovia. Even before Strahd's conquest and subsequent damnation of the land, wild and wicked monsters were abundant in the woods of the surface. To aid these early dwarven settlers, Barakor was designed with versatility in mind. Once per day, Barakor's wielder may complete a 10 minute ritual to change Barakor's magical damage type.
