Aegis-fang was the weapon of Wulfgar, son of Beornegar, of the Tribe of the Elk.[2]

Description[]

The head of this beautiful, cold-forged weapon was made from mithral, and the shaft was made from adamantite. A diamond coating was magically adhered to the entire weapon after its forging. The head was engraved with magical inscriptions, which were covered by the symbols of the dwarven gods Dumathoin,[3] Moradin, and Clangeddin Silverbeard.[4]

Aegis-fang was a cumbersome weapon, but was perfectly balanced for Wulfgar. Any person not over 6 feet and 5 inches (2 meters) in height and lacking considerable strength would have a hard time wielding it properly.[5]

Power[]

Aegis-fang was specifically attuned to its wielder Wulfgar and would magically return to his hands upon his telepathic command.[6] In the hands of anyone else, the weapon would merely function as a warhammer with a generic +3 enchantment.[1]

History[]

After Wulfgar's servitude to Bruenor Battlehammer was complete, the dwarf-king forged Aegis-fang for his adopted son as a special gift.[2]

Wulfgar trained extensively with his new weapon.[7] He used it in two battles against dragons—Ingeloakastimizilian[8] and Shimmergloom—both with triumphant results. He also used it in a battle beside Drizzt Do'Urden and Bruenor when they were victorious in their brutal fight against the balor Errtu.[9]

In 1365 DR, Josi Puddles stole Aegis-fang, selling it off to the pirate captain Sheila Kree. The weapon was later recovered when the Companions of the Hall tracked down and defeated the pirate.[10]
