Overview
Volund is a dwarven warhammer, forged by the first dwarven king, Korgan. Volund is not described in detail, but it is said that it is very large and has the symbol of the Dûrgrimst Ingeitium on its head. It has been owned by every dwarven king since Korgan, and will presumably be wielded by the new king to succeed Hrothgar.
