| - The weapon was first used to end the First Demon Wars, which took place countless generations ago. It was ultimately used as a last resort when the demonic forces of Elyos proved too much for the Kounatians and the Goddesses to handle. Powered by the Goddesses Ernasis, Lisnar and Amenias, the Hammer decimated nearly the entire demon infantry and severely injured their leader and forcing them to retreat, giving the Kounatians victory. However, the Goddesses were greatly drained by the battle and the weapon and were forced to retire. The Aernas Hammer was used again by the Kounatian Prime Minister Baldinar, now known as Ashtaroth. 600 years prior, Baldinar acquired the Klara Libri, a legendary tome that contained all of Aernas' secrets, including its Creator. Driven by ambition, he wanted to become the new Creator and sought power. Baldinar acquired the Hammer, the Soul Stone, and Demonic Essence, and planned to merge them all to obtain the ultimate weapon to achieve his goal. Unfortunately, Baldinar realized too late that the Soul Stone could only be controlled by the Kounat Royal Family, the only ones who were able to withstand the Geas imposed on them by the gods, and as thus lost control of the weapon. By then, the Hammer was completely unstable and resulted a gigantic explosion that consumed all of Kounat. This event also had inadvertently created the Dwarf-Elf War on the Archimedia Continent, as the explosion killed both their kings; both sides blamed each other for the incident and have been fighting each other ever since.
