newmonster    "Hobmark Hammerer"
descr         "The troop that differ most from what you can find in the Hoburg regiments is the Hammerer.  Though such news rarely make it out of the Markgraf's domains it is said that the undead created by lesser Nekromants will fail from time to time and wreck havoc at the factories.  It was early quite clear that short swords and pikes proved ineffective against their undead, whereas a hammerblow to the head works equally well on longdead, soulless or living opponent.  However, in time it appears as if the original Hammerers thought their hammers to be crude as they were often mistaken for smith apprentices.  Looking for something more dignified, they worked with some local smiths, who definitely did not want to be mistaken for the crude Hobmark Hammerers, to produce a hammer that both could strike through the skulls of the undead and an enemies platemail while looking stylish.  After a few hundred hammers had been delivered some hog riders noticed that the hammers looked quite a bit like the louse flinging tools they use in their games with the notorious hog louse.  The hammers were then called Louse Hammers.  If one asks a Hammerer the answer would instead be that the hammers are the trademark of Luzern's Fine Metal Wares which gives it its name, but as they are pretentious and snobby, it is obvious that the former origin of the name rings closer to the truth.  The Hammerers are still required to carry a small hammer as it has also been noted in the fielded armies that a soulless that has lost a limb can be easily if somewhat temporarily fixed with a hammer and a nail."
