Prior to what eventually became known as the [[Aetolian Saga]], the Hammer housed the [[Divine essence|essence]] of its Master, Phaestus, Who had been forcibly sealed within it around 213 AF by [[Varian]], in the Other's attempt to mask His own presence in Creation. In 285 AF, the Hammer fell from the heavens in a great spectacle of light, and a contest of sorts commenced between various factions, each one desiring to find the relic first. '''Fern Le'Yuet''', the [[Sentinel]] [[adventurer]] who picked up the Hammer after discovering its impact site, was visited by prophetic visions of a grand convocation of [[magi]], giant stone monoliths, and a [[unicorn]] in the [[:Category:Forests|forest]]. The [[Crystalline Circle|Magi]] of [[Shallam]] and the [[Merchants of the Crown|Sorcerers]] of [[Hashan]] jointly attempted to fulfil the revelation by channeling the power of the [[element|elemental]] [[planes]] onto the unicorn, but their first try failed due to disorganisation. After their second attempt was disrupted by the theft of the Hammer by an [[The Occultists|Occultist]], they led an attack on the culprit in [[Ashtan]] and recovered it, though the completed ritual the followed was again fruitless. In the midst of their third attempt, their efforts were again interrupted by the theft of the Hammer by an Ashtani, this time an [[Infernals (guild)|Infernal]]. To avoid conflict, the Magi and Sorcerers conceded to demands that the [[Warlocks]] also be allowed to participate in the matter. With the Hammer firmly in place and all three magi [[:Category:Guilds|Guilds]] in attendance, the ritual was performed once more; the combined power of the magi from all three Guilds, concerted with that of [[Agatheis]] through the unicorn's horn, was finally enough to release Phaestus from the Hammer's confines. | |||
As a member of the [[Divine Alliance]], Phaestus would later use His Hammer to sheer a [[:Category:Mountains|mountain]] from the [[Vashnars]], the one that was to become the [[Mhaldor Isle|island]] of [[Mhaldor]] after [[Sartan]] had been imprisoned underneath it. | |||
