Dawnbringer was a warhammer of such prodigious size, it was only capable of being lifted by a Primarch and was the personal weapon of the Salamanders Legion's Primarch Vulkan. It was considered indestructible and when wielded by Vulkan, it was capable of sundering any defense set against it and brutally crushed countless foes, who faced the Primarch in battle.[1]
Dawnbringer was originally forged by Vulkan as a gift for Horus upon his rise to Warmaster. However upon meeting Horus, Vulkan sensed a darkness within him, and neglected to give the Warmaster the hammer.[2] Vulkan told Forgefather T'kell that he originally forged Dawnbringer as a gift to Horus after he captured Konrad Curze following his murder of his home planet Nostromo. Horus then placed Curze's rehabilitation in Vulkan's care. When Curze caused problems during the Compliance of Kharaatan, Vulkan knew he had to speak to Horus. By then, Horus was Warmaster and turned, and mocked Vulkan openly while thanking him for making Curze into a mighty weapon of terror. This greatly unsettled Vulkan and prompted him to destroy the hammer along with his other artefacts. However, he decided to spare 7 of them, and he took the hammer with him to Isstvan V to confront the traitors.[3]
