While metal may be the preferred choice of weapon makers, the granite maul stands as a testament to the raw power of stone. This legendary weapon, revered among hammer wielders, is nothing more than a massive, heavy stone affixed to a stick. Yet, in the hands of a skilled wielder, it becomes a force of unparalleled destruction.
It was developed by ancient dwarves long ago after one dwarf got fed up with the rock hammer he was using to fight a nest of gargoyles. The beasts were strong and numerous, and their skin was almost impenetrable to conventional weaponry; only rock hammers seemed to hurt them. In frustration, one dwarf took the biggest hunk of granite he could find and turned it into a legend.
