Pirate King's Maul

Weapon (maul), legendary

Forged in the volcanoes of Adolphus Island, this brimstone maul is dark black with pulsing red veins within the head of the hammer. While attuned to this weapon you gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. Your attacks with this weapon are made in a 5 feet cone, potentially dealing damage to three targets in one swing.

This item is part of the Pirate King's Regalia. If you are already attuned to another item from the same set, this item does not require attunement.

Cursed Item. This weapon is cursed and inhabits pieces of the Pirate Kings soul. Therefore every time you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you have to succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or receive a Short-Term Madness.

Lore

The final piece of the Pirate King’s set would have been the warlord’s favourite, had he been allowed to keep his regalia. Aside from a crown to impress with and an armor to protect with, he needed a maul to split apart unsuspecting sailors with. Once forged in the volcano of Edolphus, the maul now resides in an unmarked armory in the Westwards - owned by King Alfonze II, who would hear of no self-proclaimed monarchs in his waters.
