Aegisbane is a unique Iron Warhammer that can be found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

AcquisitionEdit

It can be obtained in the ruins of Raldbthar by defeating Alain Dufont.

Due to Alain's connection to the Shatter-Shields of Windhelm as well as the radiant conversations regarding the fact that their family warhammer has been stolen, one might assume that this is the aforementioned missing hammer.

SmithingEdit

Aegisbane can be upgraded with an Iron Ingot and the Arcane Blacksmith perk at a grindstone; however, it does not benefit from any smithing perks.

TriviaEdit

• "Aegis" in Greek means shield, so the name roughly translates into "shield harm/ruin". This is likely a play on the fact that the warhammer appears to have belonged to the Shatter-Shield clan.
• When wielding the warhammer in Windhelm, guards may notice it and comment on it. The comment names the weapon as "Aegisbane" and refers to it as the heirloom of the Shatter-Shields. The guard concludes the comment by telling you that the last time it was heard of, it was stolen by Alain Dufont and Muiri. This means that this is in fact the stolen warhammer. There is no known way to return the weapons to its owners yet.
