Tome of Hammer and Stone

A Dwarven religious text

Tome of Hammer and Stone is a dwarven religious text concerning the Heart of the Mountain and the Rite of Name-Taking. The text presents Name-Taking as an exchange: a young dwarf receives their name, and the runic magic of the dwarves that comes with it, from the Bahrâzel, but this exchange binds the dwarf to a debt that must be answered, should the Bahrâzel call.
