Keolewa is an artifact weapon introduced in SporkHack and EvilHack. It is neutral-aligned, and its base item is a club. Keolewa is the guaranteed first sacrifice gift for Cavemen. It grants shock resistance when wielded.

Origin

Keolewa is a Hawaiian word that appears in a variety of prayers, chants and oral traditions. The artifact as it appears in SporkHack and EvilHack is most likely inspired specifically 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".[1] Keolewa could also hide the sun and hold back the east wind.
