The Hammer of the Gods is an artifact weapon that appears in EvilHack. It is unaligned, and its base item is a heavy war hammer made of silver.

Generation

The Hammer of the Gods can only be created by combining Sunsword and Demonbane at a forge; it cannot be wished for, and will revert to its base item if left in a bones file.

Description

The Hammer of the Gods has +1d8 to-hit and a +1d12 damage bonus against demons and undead. While wielded, you are warned of demons and undead, and demon gating is blocked as with Demonbane; the artifact also emits light as Sunsword does and confers sickness resistance. Additionally, it can be tethered and thrown similar to an aklys or Mjollnir if you are Skilled or better in hammer.

Encyclopedia entry

You go to such lengths to build these churches, making sure
they strike terror into the hearts of all who come near.
It's just a room with a door... no different to a prison.
