The Hammer of Firebeard is a dwarven rune weapon, taking it's shape in the form of a large Warhammer. All along the Hammer's head are inscribed Dwarven runes. These runes serve 2 purposes,

1) They are a nexus for the powers of Mearth, provided the bearer be a spellcaster

2) The rune on the tip of the hammer, also acts as a soul gem, however it can only ensnare the souls of the former bearers of the weapon, right now it only holds Gotrek Firebeard, when Thangrim dies, it will take his soul, and so forth.

The soul gem function is because of Dwarven beleifs, so the ancestors can always witness the battle, always be with their former weapon.
