History
G'varok of Mirabar became renowned for his great work forging weapons and armor of the highest quality, years before the. Unbeknownst to everyone but the dwarf, he commissioned the enchanting of his anvil to a master wizard, ensuring that every piece crated on it was a marvelous masterpiece. With time, G'varok fame spread across the Sword Coast and the dwarf pridefully declared himself the greatest smith alive. The fame eventually was G'varok's downfall. A powerful frost giant and a master smith named Marruti headed off the dwarf's claims all the way in the frigid tundra of Icewind Dale. The giant traveled to Mirabar and challenged G'varok to a smithing contest. History accords had not preserved the competition's details bur its outcome was well known. Marruti was the first to take a hammer to the anvil and with a single strike cracked G'varok's anvil in the middle. With the anvil becoming unusable, G'varok lost the competition, unable to magically boost his smithing skills. The dwarf left Mirabar in disgrace and G'varok's anvil, reportedly, was taken by Marruti as a trophy.

By 1374 DR, G'varok's anvil found its way into the hands of planeswalking wizard and curio dealer Mintassan the Magnificent and was proudly displayed among many other unique and strange items in his shop – Mintassan's Mysteries.
