Garmrock

Garmrock is a enormous magical axe. It has great renown per being Shrike's weapon during his life.

-- Below this, most of this article is speculation and the facts from the viewpoint of the PCs, it's just about keeping the facts --

Appearance
It is a Large Axe, which is always sharp, ignoring the weight of the years. Somehow, it has a great affinity for fire, engulfing it's blade in it... and burninging it's enemies to the bone!

Gameplay-wise, it is a +2 Fire Burst axe, but during the battle against The Champions of El-Mio, the axe was able to create a pond of lava, so it seems to have more powers apart from the evident ones. The axe seems to have a personality of it's own, so maybe it's reserving more powers to one who proves his worth.

History
Shrike seemed to be buried with this formidable weapon, and with a set of magical armor. So, when The Sect tried to raise him as a mindless undead servant (or that seemed to be) he was armed with it. While his armor had gone old and rusty, the axe looked new, like it was forged just yesterday.

As the heroes wrecked the Ritual, Shrike proceeded to slay anything at range, in his mindless state he killed all the members of the sect with this extraordinary axe, and even confronted El-Mio's Champions, but their unity and coordination was too much for his pitiful new form, and the heroes were undeterred.

When Shrike's animated corpse was defeated, mostly by Anara's arrows and Giga-Dezzra's blade, the Heroes debated about keeping his axe, since it's powers may be needed, or returning it to Shrike's family: His wife (now widow) Bernadette and his brother Ivan.
