This warhammer is plan and unadorned with a haft made from the golden wood of the gingko tree. When the weapon is wielded, its steel head glows with a soft, silver-black light.

Whelm glows more brightly when you endeavor to assess items of value, the more valuable the item, the brighter the glow (+2 Appraise)
Knowledge (History, 15)
The hammer known as Whelm first appeared in a dwarven community beset by ogres, though no report of its creation by those dwarves exists. Wielded by a dedicated dwarf soldier named Ryson, the weapon proved quite powerful against the clan's enemies.
