Subject:  The Rune Stone Hammer

Rathe Fortimissie walked into Duncan's and immediatly over to the forge. Haven spoken with the
 smithy earlier he was ready to start his work. He began to fire the steel needed, as he did he
 thought of recent events. Tel had mentioned the on coming threat of war, Rathe felt the old surge
 of battle rush through he veins. In recent weeks he began to feel his old strength returning to
 him but was let down when Tel said the knights would do the fighting, not the squires. He felt
 like he was underestimated greatly, once he had been captain of the guard and now he was a lowly
 squire. As he hammered out the steel he relaxed slightly as reason trickled into his brain. Tel
 did help him when he first came to this land, he strength had be sapped.

Yet now he felt stronger, especially since his discovery of the rune stone. Even when he would hunt
 the undead he felt more attuned to his weapon, as if he could feel the inner strength in it. He
 stood over the hot forge feeling relief that he had not forgotten how to craft steel. The rune
 stone was quite a find and though he had not discovered all of it's secrets he had found a use for
 it. Inserting the stone into the war hammer held in his hand he smiled as the head of the hammer
 began to glow. The war hammer began to shine as he examined it, he would be ready for a war now it
 was time to prove it.
