Description

A trollhammer is a massive two-handed weapon, usually a mace or hammer, that strikes with such concussive force that it temporarily stuns both the target and the wielder.

A common misconception about this weapon is that it is named a Trollhammer because it is a weapon used to kill trolls. While this may be the case, the fact of the matter is that the early Winterfolk first encountered these weapons in the hands of the trolls, and only used them against them at the point where they took them away from their previous owners ... Some stories of the final battles against the trolls tell of their champions wielding one in either hand, but these are surely fanciful accounts embroidered by scops to make better sagas.
