Gildspar was a dwarven outcast smith and forge master of the Mirror Hammer. Struck by a vision of this weapon and its function, he spent ten long years journeying to the heights of a mountain range where a perpetual lightning storm, said to be created by a floating magic rune, blasted away at the jagged peaks. Gildspar set metal ingots where lightning could strike them and infuse them with its energies. He then carved runes upon each ingot for every bolt of lightning that found its mark. He finally put the metal, charged with the energies of a thousand bolts of lightning, to the forge.
What emerged was the Mirror Hammer. In accordance with its name, when swung, the Mirror Hammer could reflect any magic and repel any blow. However, it had another power, one that revealed its true nature. When the Mirror Hammer struck the surface of a lake, the water would freeze into a silver pane, and anyone who looked into it could see visions of the distant past, the reflection of the ages.
