The Hammer Thrower



The Hammer of Heaven is a Troll story read from the Scrolls of Her. =Fables= "All Trolls stood, and they looked up at the sky. They looked, and they saw a light coming downwards. And yet it was night, when light did not come. They looked, and they saw its tail. They looked, and they saw its body. They looked, and watched as it came to the ground. "Woe betide those that the Hammer punishes", the Trolls said together. And they watched as the light became bigger. And they watched as dust went upwards. "The spirit of the Hammer-thrower is rising up again" they said together. And it did. =Notes= The Hammer-thrower is an interesting historical source of facts, involving the Troll persception of meteors. At least, it is believed that this "Hammer", was a meteor, mistaken by Trolls as a weapon intended to punish those who made sins against the Mother Falls. The mushroom clouds that rose afterwards were thought to be the spirit of the Hammer-thrower - the wielder of the Hammer, sent to punish the sinners by the Madame herself - rising back up to the heavens
