Boy Who Lifted the Hammer No One Could Move"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hammer was older than the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Older than the cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Older than the royal bloodline itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It rested inside a circular chamber beneath Saint Valthor Cathedral, surrounded by pillars of black granite polished smooth by centuries of reverence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People traveled across oceans to see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kings crossed continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warriors dedicated entire lives to training for the chance to lift it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every one of them failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hammer of Valthor never moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not even an inch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For four hundred years it remained lodged within a block of dark stone at the center of the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An eternal challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An eternal humiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An eternal mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kingdom had built legends around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children learned stories about it before they learned history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hammer had belonged to King Valthor the Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The warrior king who united the fractured kingdoms of the Atlantic coast and forged Aurelia into a single realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to ancient records, the hammer would someday recognize the rightful heir of his bloodline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most scholars dismissed the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most nobles mocked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most kings quietly feared it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because prophecies have a habit of becoming dangerous when people start believing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially powerful people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially dynasties built upon old secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The morning everything changed began with rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cold Atlantic rain hammered against the cathedral windows while nobles gathered for the Festival of Founding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king sat upon a ceremonial throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Archbishops stood nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military commanders lined the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hundreds of spectators filled the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One by one, famous warriors attempted the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A giant knight from the northern provinces strained until veins bulged from his neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A champion swordsman from the western coast tried next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A prince from a neighboring kingdom attempted after him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hammer remained perfectly still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crowd laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The festival continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Failure had become tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody expected success anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then a servant boy entered the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His name was Rowan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twelve years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dark-haired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dressed in rough clothing stained with soot from the cathedral furnaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He wasn&#8217;t there to compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had been sent to deliver firewood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people didn&#8217;t even notice him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Servants rarely existed in the eyes of nobles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the moment Rowan stepped into the chamber, something changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The candles flickered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several priests exchanged nervous glances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A strange metallic vibration echoed through the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soft at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sound seemed to come from the hammer itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The archbishop frowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king slowly leaned forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vibration intensified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People began whispering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rowan looked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hammer looked almost alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient runes carved into the weapon glowed faintly beneath centuries of dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody understood what they were seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Except one old man standing near the rear of the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lord Benedict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ninety years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last surviving historian of the royal archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His face turned pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because he recognized the symbols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he recognized what they meant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before he could speak, Rowan took another step forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The humming became louder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stone beneath the hammer trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panic spread through the priests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king rose from his seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Stop the boy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several guards moved immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rowan reached the hammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody knew why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not even Rowan himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later he would describe it as feeling familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like hearing a voice remembered from childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He wrapped one hand around the ancient handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laughter erupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several nobles shook their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A servant child attempting what kings could not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The absurdity was almost entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the stone cracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The laughter died instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A deep fracture spread through the pedestal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dust exploded into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hammer moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enough to silence the cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enough to make every witness question reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rowan stared at the weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His hands trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hammer suddenly felt warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The runes blazed brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another crack appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire pedestal shattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And slowly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">impossibly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the boy lifted the Hammer of Valthor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world seemed to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody breathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The silence felt rehearsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As though history itself had been waiting for this moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hammer weighed almost as much as Rowan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet he held it effortlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The runes burned with silver light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient symbols danced across the metal surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king looked horrified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not amazed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terrified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because he knew something most people did not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The royal family was not descended from King Valthor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least not directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth had been buried centuries earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A civil war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A stolen succession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A murdered heir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Records altered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Witnesses eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">History rewritten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The throne survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lie survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until a servant boy lifted a hammer that should have remained silent forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chaos followed immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The festival ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chamber emptied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cathedral locked its doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Rowan found himself escorted into the royal palace under heavy guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officially it was for his protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unofficially it was because powerful people wanted answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Aldric summoned the Royal Council before sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting lasted through the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voices echoed through palace corridors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arguments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One minister suggested executing Rowan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another demanded exile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A third proposed declaring the event a fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But nobody could explain the glowing runes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody could explain the shattered stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody could explain the hammer itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weapon refused to leave Rowan&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whenever separated, it somehow returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Servants discovered it beside his bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even inside locked rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hammer had chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And ancient legends rarely changed their minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Days later Rowan discovered the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not from the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not from the council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From an old journal hidden within the royal archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A journal written by Queen Elara nearly three centuries earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its pages revealed everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rightful royal line had never disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It had been hunted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Survivors fled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children hidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Names changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloodlines scattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One branch survived in secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A branch leading directly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">to Rowan&#8217;s mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The realization hit him like lightning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His entire life had been built upon a lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His mother&#8217;s warnings suddenly made sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her secrecy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way she avoided discussing family history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She had known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps not everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enough to keep him alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Word eventually spread beyond the palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizens demanded transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Priests demanded investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The military demanded certainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kingdom stood on the edge of collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then King Aldric made a decision nobody expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"357\" height=\"460\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More like a judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evidence was presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Family records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forgotten testimonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Piece by piece, the truth emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end, nobody could deny it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The royal dynasty had stolen the throne generations ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kingdom itself had been built upon a buried crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crowd waited for violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead King Aldric stood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Removed his crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And walked toward Rowan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old king looked exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like a man carrying centuries of guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stopped before the boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then lowered himself onto one knee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gasps echoed through the cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king spoke only six words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The truth belongs above the throne.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then another noble knelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like falling dominoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The movement spread across the cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bishops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because Rowan demanded it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rowan stood motionless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hammer of Valthor resting beside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands of stronger men had failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hammer had never cared about power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It cared about truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years later Rowan would become ruler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because he desired it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because responsibility eventually outweighed fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His reign transformed the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secret archives opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Corrupt laws disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient injustices were acknowledged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">History was restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not rewritten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But inside Saint Valthor Cathedral, the Hammer of Valthor remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not trapped in stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
