Balastor's Barracks

From The Acaeum Wiki

The second RuneQuest supplement, after Trolls and Trollkin. The material reappears in Big Rubble. It concerns Balastor Brightaxe, Rune Lord and High Priest of the Cult of Pavis, who was defeated by trolls. As explained in the background

Surrounded and overrun, Balastor finally fell. A few remaining men bore him to the underground barracks area. As he died, he called on his patron Pavis for divine intervention. Pavis responded. The spirit which had occupied his steel Axe departed, and Balastor's spirit replaced it within the Axe.

Balastor's few companions hid the Axe within the barracks and then died to a man when the trolls poured down the staircase. The resting place of the Axe is unknown.
