Item: Axe of the Dwarven Lords
The blade of this +4 major striking Keen Returning Quickstrike dwarven waraxe is carved with an intricate design depicting countless generations of great dwarven warriors and leaders.
The axe has the thrown 30 feet weapon trait, in addition to the normal weapon traits for a dwarven waraxe. Strikes with the axe deal an additional 1d6 damage to orcs.
While the axe is in your possession, you gain a +4 item bonus when Crafting armor, jewelry, metalworking, stonemasonry, snares, traps, and weapons.
If you are a dwarf, you gain greater darkvision while holding the axe. If you are not a dwarf, you are Stupefied 4 while holding the axe, and if you are an orc, you are also Drained 4 and Enfeebled 4 while holding it.

Effect The axe casts a 10th-rank Summon Elemental spell to conjure an elite elemental avalanche. The spell is automatically sustained, requiring no action on your part but still allowing you to command the elemental on each of your turns. You can Dismiss the Spell.
Destruction If an orc beheads a dwarven king with the Axe of the Dwarven Lords, the axe rusts away to nothing.
Critical Specialisation Effects
Certain effects can grant you benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialisation effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.
Axe: Choose one creature adjacent to the initial target and within reach. If its AC is lower than your attack roll result for the critical hit, you deal damage to that creature equal to the result of the weapon damage die you rolled (including extra dice for its striking rune, if any). This damage isn't doubled, and no bonuses or other additional dice apply.
