Living Axe

The Living Axes were a dwarven cult dedicated to the worship of sentient items. Unlike other cults, which were short lived, the Living Axe resurfaced periodically.

Organization
Living Axe sects typically worshiped and obeyed the orders of sentient weapons. These weapons were often either the prison of a malevolent spirit or being controlled by one.

Their most prominent leader was a double-bladed, bronzed adamantine battle axe of unknown origin, from which the organization got its name.

Activities
Members of the Living Axe believed that the numerous magical items created over the years by dwarven smiths were guided by a divine inspiration that lived within the items themselves. They often sought to extend the rule of the items that led them over small communities of halflings, gnomes, and even humans.

Other members of the organization sought to create more magical weapons - this often took the form of two weapons that were inspired by relics of Myth Drannor, the guardian blade and watch axe.

Possessions
Living Axe priests typically carried multiple throwing axes and wore fantastical piked helmets.
