The Blood Hammer was crafted by Cas Irons, a young blacksmith whose skill surpassed his years. Seeking to create a weapon of immense power, Cas poured his heart and soul into forging the Blood Hammer. Legends say that the hammer’s name comes from the many battles it has seen and the blood it has spilled, as well as the blood, sweat, and tears of its creator. The arcane infusion in the hammer was a gift from a grateful wizard who Cas had saved, granting the weapon its magical properties.
