The first Weapon of Legend

Miraud and his armies disbanded, the great heroes by his side during the battle travelled home, or out for their own goals. Miraud, still, was not done. The dragon's soul was captured in a crystal, it could not be remade without the crystal, and that was too much of a concern. So, Miraud deigned to find a way to stop the crystal from being used.

He decided to focus the power of the dragon's soul into making a weapon, one that could be used against the other dragons. For forty days and forty nights, he toiled away at a forge with the crystal and the tools to forge a mighty weapon. At the end, he was left with a heavy warhammer, adn the crystal was whittled down to a nub smaller than a man's finger, and encased within the hammer, merged into it as one. This was the first great weapon of the elements, the first great weapon forged by men in the age of magic. It had the power to move mountains, and amplified and channeled the raw power of whomever carried it. Miraud was exhausted, he laid down the hammer and slept.

The moment he did, though, alone and unprotected but for his weapon, the other dragons swooped in to end him. While with the hammer of earth Miraud was more powerful than any one dragon, he was no match for the combined might of all five. Still, he was not slain outright, and managed to protect the hammer from their greedy clutches. But, he was mortally wounded, and passed away shortly after. The people, the armies, and the heroes that had known him decided his last sacrifice not be in vain, and buried Miraud in the earth along with the hammer so that the dragons would not be able to collect it, the weapon's power preventing the massive beasts from tunneling through the ground, and all manner of traps and chained demons to prevent anyone from entering and stealing it for their own uses. The thought of the dragons weilding the weapon was impossible for people to comprehend, and so they hid it away.
