'''Keolewa''' is an [[artifact]] that appears in [[Hack'EM]]. It is [[neutral]]-aligned, and its [[base item]] is a [[club]].<br />
<br />
==Generation==<br />
A club randomly generated on the ground or as a [[death drop]] has a base {{frac|20}} chance of being made into an artifact, which has a {{frac|2}} chance ofbeing Keolewa if it has not yet been generated. Keolewa is the guaranteed first [[sacrifice gift]] for [[Cavepeople]], and neutral [[hero]]es can receive Keolewa as a sacrifice gift.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
While [[wielded]], Keolewa grants +1d5 [[to-hit]] and +1d8 [[shock]] damage bonuses versus monsters without [[shock resistance]], and grants shock resistance when wielded.<br />
<br />
==Origin==<br />
''Keolewa'' is a Hawaiian word that appears in a variety of prayers, chants and oral traditions, including once as the name of the morning star.<br />
<br />
The artifact as it appears in SporkHack and EvilHack is most likely inspired by the weapon of Paopele, a great warrior that appears in the Legend of Kapunohu. According to tradition, the club Keolewa is so great that "it extends over a whole district in length, reaches up to the clouds of heaven, and takes four thousand men to carry".<ref>[http://www.donch.com/lulhmyths29.htm Hawaiian Mythology]</ref> Keolewa could also hide the sun and hold back the east wind.<br />
