The gleaming dwarven rune axe is an artifact weapon awarded by Rolf upon completion of his quest. While wielded it grants +7 to DV and PV, +6 to Toughness, and resistance to fire. It returns when thrown.
Unlike Rolf's Companion, it does not gain any special benefits from being wielded in the left hand alongside its shield counterpart.
Desirability[]
It is one of the best melee weapons in the game, with high damage and significant defensive boosts. It is also quite good as a returning missile.
