Járnhundr is a massive battleaxe forged for a Jötunn, built of iron‑dense metal and set with two stones in its shoulder. One holds a shard of the Kalt Rune, the other a shard of the Vind Rune. Tier has mastered several of the axe’s powers, and deeper abilities tied to both rune shards may reveal themselves as his connection to Járnhundr deepens.
