'''''Ironfang''''' is a magical war pick. Forged from a single piece of iron, it is inscribed with ancient runes and feels almost weightless when swung in anger. It cannot be marred by rust, acid, or corrosion, and rings with a thunderous blast when striking a foe in combat. It grants its wielder the ability to speak Terran, sense the presence of nearby gems and precious metals, and dominate earth elementals. It contains a spark of the primordial [[Ogrémoch]]. 

==History==
It is unknown who forged ''Ironfang'', or when, but it ultimately found its way into the hands of [[Marlos Urnrayle]], prophet of the [[Cult of the Black Earth]] who used it to create a portal to the [[Plane of Earth]] and summon Ogrémoch into [[Syra]]. After Marlos was slain by [[Kazak]] and Ogrémoch's avatar destroyed, [[Leardon Sunflare]] struck the portal with ''Ironfang''; doing so immediately closed the portal and caused ''Ironfang'' to crumble into rust and disintegrate.

==Legend==
[[Ru Bae Ya]] performed a divination on ''Ironfang''. This divination resulted in the following prophecy:

:''The lord of earth and stone awaits
:''A mortal who will challege the fates
:''From iron forged a sharpened key
:''Below the ground where none can see
:''A monument of shifting stone
:''Serves not as an earthen throne
:''The gate, in time, the key unlocks
:''Let all men fear: the mountain walks
