+The '''Hammer of Phaestus''' is the chosen tool of [[Phaestus]], the Smith.
-At one point in history the hammer housed the essence of its master; Phaestus having been forcibly sealed within by [[Varian]] to mask His presence in creation. The hammer fell from the heavens in a large spectacle of light, and commenced a game where various factions would steal the relic back and forth. Prophetic dreams of a grand convocation of magi and a unicorn centring on the hammer were given to the holders of the hammer, which the [[Crystalline Circle|Magi]] of [[Shallam]] and the [[Merchants of the Crown|Sorcerers]] of [[Hashan]] attempted. The first attempt failed due to disorganization, the second resulted in the theft of the hammer by an [[The Occultists|Occultist]], leading to a raid on [[Ashtan]] to recover it. A third attempt was nearly organized but halted when an Ashtani [[Infernals (guild)|Infernal]] reclaimed it and forced the concession of allowing the [[Warlocks]] to participate in the matter. With all three magi guilds in attendance the ritual was performed, their concerted power with that of [[Agatheis]] through the unicorn's horn, released Phaestus from the hammer's confines.
+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.
-Later Phaestus would use his hammer to sheer a mountain from the [[Vashnars]], that would later become the island of [[Mhaldor]].
+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.
