The Hammer of Khaz'goroth was astonishingly heavy.
Even the immensely strong Mage Hand was unsteady when lifting this heavy object.
When Herad set it on the ground, its head pressed a slight dent into the hardwood floor.
Who could fight with it?

Faced with overwhelmingly powerful enemies, the Elemental Spirits had
