Forged in the first age to strike down the enemies of creation, Illuminating Wrath of the Sun is an enormous Axe, the blade crafted of Orichalcum and carved with runes of justice and valor. The haft of this mighty blade was fashioned from the heartwood of a great black tree found in the southeast growing near one of Great Garda's everburing flames and banded with White Jade.

Creation Errata or not, I actually see this as vastly underpowered. It's combat values are barely sneeze-worthy compared to a Grand Daiklave, and all the powers are just reminiscent of charms already in the book. If this axe was designed for someone out to hunt creation's enemies, wouldn't he/she already have all those abilities? Why would a first age smith make an artifacts with redundant powers if the price was reduced combat utility? At artifact 5, I expect this thing to cleave through soulsteel doors and cause demons to wet themselves at a hundred paces. -- DODurden
