 As you move closer to the apparition the ferocity of the storm dissipates. The snow and ice settles lightly to ground and as you stand before the marble pillar all becomes quiet. The room is now a blanket of white, a soft glow emanating from the axe lighting all about you. Quickly looking for any sign of the Horde's cunning traps you survey the room. Before the storm you believe the chamber must have been the private quarters of a high ranking Hresh Chieftain. Ornate decorations and trapestries cover the walls, a large comfortable bed lies in one corner. About the room the wind has hurled a large amount of weaponry, equipment and ceremonial clothing. There are all the trappings here of a powerful leader.
Looking back to the axe you appreciate with greater clarity how beautiful it truly is. Standing without any other support on its handle it is made of a pure white material like nothing you have seen. The entire length of the axe's haft is inlaid with fine gold, clear crystal and smaller precious stones. Only the blade of the axe can you recognise as being made of iron, polished and well tempered. It is not the blade however, that you find most interesting. Protruding from the back of the iron blade and set solidly into the unusual white material of the haft is a razor sharp Dragon's talon. Such a weapon you must have. With great care you reach out towards the Dragonsclaw to grasp it. It is then that it speaks.
