Trivia

 * This item is a possible reference to the game Dwarf Fortress; specifically, its flavor text references Boatmurdered, a fortress played by several users of the Something Awful forums which gained widespread recognition in 2007. In it, the dwarf representing forum user Sankis (a female) went mad during the outpost's final months, setting her clothes alight in a magma vent before demolishing the fortress and its inhabitants with her bare hands, spreading blood and fire in her wake.


 * This is one of the few Legendary weapons in game that does not use an original model, but rather a recolored version of a Soldier Axe.
