Volendrung (Skyrim)

Volendrung is a Two-Handed weapon and Daedric artifact in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Also known as the Hammer of Might, this ancient Dwemer warhammer has appeared time and again through Tamriel for the last several hundred years.

History
The Warhammer originally belonged to the Rourken, a clan of the Dwemer. Legend has it that the leader of the Rourken threw his hammer into the air and proclaimed that his clan would settle wherever it landed. The hammer landed in the province of Hammerfell (hence the name), homeland of the Redguard.

True to his word, the leader of the Rourken raised the city of Volenfell, the capital of the Western Dwemer, at the location. How exactly this mythical Dwarven hammer ended up in Malacath's possession is unknown.

Location
It is received from the Daedric Prince Malacath as a reward for completing the quest "The Cursed Tribe".
