Below is the begining information for the Artifact Malice's Axe, if you know more information please send it in.

Travel to Typhon's Reach with 2 groups and kill Malimus.

There is a place in Typhon's Reach where you will find an area with tons of gold laying about along with two chests (chest of weakening and a chest of disciples) and an axe on a pedestal.

Approach the pedestal and right click on the axe to get a token and to spawn Malimus, along with a couple other mobs.

Have one person distract Malimus taking him close to the fenced in are. Once he is enraged have the rest of your group take and place tokens in the chest, you will need to do this 100 times for each chest!

Once both chests are gone fighting Malimus will be like a normal fight. When he falls the Axe will drop

Dialog from the 3 scrolls combined (submitted by Staghorn):

"All my life I've been a temperamental man. In my childhood I could often be found rolling on the ground with another boy that had enraged me, or pummeling my little brother. If I wasn't fighting, I was cursing. If I wasn't cursing I was fuming and stewing. Oh there were the other temperaments [as well]. On a good night with a good drink you could find me red cheeked and grinning, about to burst into a laugh at any moment.

I'd be dancing and laughing and holding court with locals in the city pubs I frequented. But as I aged, I realized my temperaments were too extreme. I was unable to think without joy or anger having a say [in everything I did]. So it was that in my youth I made not one sensible or smart decision. Oh yes, you can make as many poor decisions when you are happy as when you are fuming and angry."

"Ah, but there [was] a solution. I learned the basics of it from [a master smith], and honed it into an art. I found smithing to be an honest craft suitable to my temperament. When I was happy, I could make the most delicate and lovely of blades. When I was angry, I could make a hammer or broadsword that matched my mood in appearance and my skill in combat. It's just a matter of focus. Focus love into a dagger for a lovely bride, and hate into a sword for the captain of an army. Doing this controlled my temperament. I become ever-keeled, and found to my surprise that I was making sound decisions."

"Ah, my little brother. How gifted he is. How talented. All my life I envied him. The envy turned to disgust. The disgust to hate. I didn't want to hate him. All [that] time I spent learning to control my temperament, [and] I couldn't control my jealousy over him, until that axe. I hated hating him. I hated all the malice I felt for him. I had never felt something so strongly. All the extremes of my youth were serenity to this! So I forged [an axe].

Such an axe it was! I did not realize that the jealousy, loathing, disgust and anger could be channeled into such a finely crafted piece of workmanship! I had never forged anything quite like it. The quality exceeded anything I had made before, or would make again! When it was finished, I visited my little brother, and embraced him. [My] malice was gone. We became close after that. The [axe], well, I sold [it the] first chance I got, to some strange warrior from another land. [He said] he was off to the trials. I'm off there myself. My brother is going to try to pass them, to impress a girl I think, crazy fool. Well, I will be there with him, to see what I can do to help him."
