A massive axe cut from a stone mined from the heart of Dagmokk. Although the pear-shaped stone at the head of this axe resembles a flint tomahawk, it is actually a fine gem. This gem, named the Heart of the Earth, was cut by highly skilled Gnomish jewelers in the prehistory of dwarves and gnomes. The stone was the objective of the several wars and for a time the stone was worshipped as a god in the prehistory of dwarves and gnomes. However, when the dwarven profit Bigbeard brought the idea of monotheism to dwarves, the Heart of the Earth was cast out as a false god. It is said that the goblins paid dearly for the stone and it was the goblin king Greega the Gross who hit upon the idea of mounting the stone in a tomahawk. Greega was killed at the Battle of Haunted Pass and for a time the stone was lost. The Heart of the Earth was eventually recovered from the twin towers of ettin named Udelly Dva. Iowaffa slew the ettin to read from the Tome of Paths and at that time he found the Heart of the Earth. As Strength imparts bonuses to the use of a normal weapon, the wielder of the Tomahawk of Iowaffa uses Constitution to determine bonuses.

This weapon commonly functions as a +2 warhammer. In the hands of an Occopannac, dwarf or a gnome, the tomahawk gains an additional +1 enhancement bonus (for a total enhancement bonus of +3) and gains the returning special ability. It can be hurled with a 30-foot range increment. When hurled, it deals an extra 2d8 points of damage against kobolds or an extra 1d8 points of damage against any other target.
