The metal ends of this gnome hooked hammer glow with a faint reddish hue. Its haft is decorated with iron bosses and uncut gemstones.

These weapons were created to help the gnomes defend their holdings. While you wield a hooked hammer of the hearthfire, it functions as a +1/+1 gnome hooked hammer if you are neutral good, neutral, chaotic good, or lawful good.

Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine connection, both ends of this weapon also have the flaming property (DMG 224). Furthermore, your hooked hammer of the hearthfire automatically deals 1d6 points of fire damage per round to any kobold or goblinoid unfortunate enough to grasp its handle.
To use the relic power, you must worship Garl Glittergold and either sacrifice a 4th-level divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat and at least 7 HD. If you sacrifice a 5th-level divine spell or have the True Believer feat and at least 9 Hit Dice, both ends of the weapon instead have the flaming burst property.

Lore: It is said that Garl Glittergold gave one of these weapons to each of twelve noble gnome families many centuries ago. Of these, eight are believed to remain among the gnomes (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Sanctify Relic, flame strike.
Cost to Create: 2,500 gp (plus 120 gp for base item), 200 XP, 5 days.
