Thanks, man. Besides my big thread from two years ago, I’m ok with the slow march of most of my lore toward page 51 - except I’d like to hold onto my take on the elder hammer a little longer:
According to the great mystic of the 3rd age Alan Gumph, the elder goddesses used the hammer to awaken the sacred clay. Once struck, the clay began to yearn for shape and form as we know it today, and thus it became suitable for the building of worlds. Having fulfilled its function, the hammer was abandoned long ago, and in its presence came to be the talon beasts and nail beasts - we see their divine origin in the unique charms that they drop, akin to the unique charms of the TzHaar and TokHaar who also came from an elder artifact.
It’s not often that one can so succinctly fill a couple obscure gaps in lore, contribute to planar theory, and reference both the joke of a 12th century metaphysician and recently discovered biophysical properties of clay! (credit to Rondstat for ideas on nailbeasts)
