Thorek's anvil-headed hammer is a formidable weapon of war as well as a useful tool. In his position as Master of the Weaponsmiths of Karak Azul, he has access to a vast amount of ancient rune lore. From his researches and experiments, he has designed a new rune which he has struck onto his hammer. This rune is unique to Thorek's hammer, Klad Brakak, and, as of yet, it is unproven – being only a few centuries old, Thorek wishes to give the rune a fair trial before allowing others to duplicate it. In battle it is easy to find Thorek as his hammer shatters armour when it strikes, making a sound like thunder.
