History
Wicked Nethersbane, a formidable hammer, shares a chilling history with its companion artifact, the Abyssal Shard, both being the product of a blacksmith's torturous sojourn in Hell. Forged from the skull and spine of his demonic tormentor, the blacksmith, driven by a potent cocktail of fear, rage, and desperation, created the Wicked Nethersbane. It was with this hammer that the Abyssal Shard was made - a testament to the blacksmith's skill and his indomitable will to survive. However, the creation of this tool, wrought from the very bones of a demon, started the blacksmith's transformation into a demonic entity himself.
The hammer, feared for its ominous heat and the intensity of anger it stirred in its wielder, lingered in the fiery abyss for eons. It was retrieved by its creator, now a fully realized demon, who used it to tear down the walls separating worlds and drag escaped souls back to their damned existence.
The saga of the Wicked Nethersbane took an unexpected turn when it crossed paths with a man filled with as much wrath and malice as the demon. In a fierce encounter, the man turned the weapon against its creator, bashing in the demon's skull and claiming the hammer for himself. In the hands of this new wielder, the hammer was used to forge new weapons and armors for the living, each piece imbued with raw, abyssal power, marking a new chapter in the legend of the Wicked Nethersbane.
