Anyone remember the Hammer of Tyr from the Pools of Radiance novel? I have to say that it was perhaps the most potent undead turning weapon I have ever witnessed. What happened to it? Considering Tyr's demise , I wonder if this artifact still holds its potency...
After seeing that Phlan fell into the hands of Banites, it's a good guess that the Hammer left the city with the other Tyrrans. Possibly the hammer's magic failed when Tyr "died" in 1385 DR.

This leads to other interesting questions. Are some divine artifacts actually infused with the creators divine essence? Or is there simply a some invisible connection between the deity and the artifact. It's seems that in some cases seemingly dead deities live on via their artifacts...

Some deities create artifacts using their own "essence," as evidenced by Mystra during the Time of Troubles.

What were the artifacts? I recall her infusing Chosen but no items....
Midnight-Mystra also enchanted a blade by letting her blood run along it, and then gave it to a Kara-Tur (I think) diplomat when Adon was sick in the fourth Avatar book.
