A crude hammer topped with the head from a statue of Queen Sophesia of Mournstead.
Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Inferno
Very few of his subjects saw beneath the stern visage and commanding presence of King Bramis XVII, and fewer still would have guessed how much strength the formidable king drew from the love in his queen's smile and the innocence in his infant son's eyes.

Set bonus — Father of Misery’s Arms
The hammer gains its own forward heavy attack in both one and two hands. This is the set behind the dual-wield boss-hammer spin-jump area attack in the alternate movesets.
Equip alongside:
What it takes
Meet the weapon's stat requirements and the special attack is available — at any upgrade level, with no quest to finish first. The pairing above is still required: both weapons have to be equipped.
Set membership is read from the weapon's own ItemTags in the game files.
What the bonus does is described from its ability assets. Unlock conditions were removed by patch 2.5.593 on 15 August 2026; before it, several
of these were gated behind questlines. The game itself never mentions any of this.
