GROND!...GROND!...GROND!...
Thousands of orcs chant in unison as their champion and chieftan raises the black iron morningstar, they chant for the hammer of the underworld, the unbeatable weapon of orcdom.

Er... wrong Grond...

'Hammer' is the literal meaning of "Grond", a name that dates back to the First Age. It was originally applied to the great mace of Morgoth, the so-called Hammer of the Underworld, that he used in his defeat of Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, at the gates of Angband. Presumably, but not certainly, destroyed in the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age.
Grond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grond (called the Hammer of the Underworld) is the name of two fictional weapons from the works of J. R. R. Tolkien.
[edit]

In the legendarium

In the First Age, Grond was the great mace of Morgoth Bauglír, the first Dark Lord, who wielded it when he fought with Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor. With every blow from the hammer that struck the ground, a crater was formed. Morgoth managed to kill the High King, but not without receiving seven wounds himself.

During the War of the Ring in the Third Age, the name was used for a great battering ram. A hundred feet long with a head shaped like a snarling wolf, it was used in the siege of Minas Tirith. Aided by spells laid on it by the Witch-king of Angmar, and the spells cast upon it during its forging in Mordor, Grond destroyed the formidable gate of Minas Tirith in just four blows.

Nope. Never done it before. I bought a "How to Fiberglass" book though
