Tooth of Ss'ess'innek (Item)

A weapon taken from King Kesh'Thak, in Orogg's care.

Orogg received a dark dream while sleeping next to the axe. He saw evil hordes streaming from the temple of Ss'ess'innek. He drew the axe and slayed them, but discovered, that the corpses of his friends were also amongst the bodies.

Grandfather Zitembe examined the axe, and provided the following oracle (as best as Orogg can remeber):

The axe is fueled by a deep darkness... it is raging against its shackles, shouting, and crying and talking of deaths of thousands... Its capture fuels something gathering.... city crawling with snakes encased with cliffs, a black obelisk draped in vines, a darkness rolling out across the jungle, sea to every corner of the world - a maelstrom of souls siphoned into a rebirth that should not be. Additionally, Grandfather Zitembe saw a king in black laughing beyond the stars, and an old champion fallen serving the king unknowingly.

He concluded that weapon was contained as long as the darkness is contained, but that its chains fuel something far more sinister.

Saja N'Baza also examined the axe, and noted that while it was vile, it might yet play a role in the defeat of Ras Nsi.

The tooth also has other uses, such as an anchor and a door prop. So although apparently cursed, it is exceedingly useful practically.
