Rhogar was said to wield a powerful enchanted hammer. Using its power they shattered entire armies. At a certain point, Rhogar stood against Vaia, who wielded a simple shield of the ash wood. Despite Rhogars' power and superior weapon, Vaia stood her ground as the hammer fell. Holding her shield above her head and believing that Trinimac watched over her, her resolve was not dampened. After a loud crash, Rhogars' mighty hammer was shattered and the small wooden shield survived and managed to repel the blow. Over the ages, the shield became a symbol. Vaia's Golden Ash - the image of the ash tree, became the symbol of the strength, heritage, and unity of the Orsimer people.[1][3]
Rhogar the Destroyer is referred to as male in The Scroll of Vaia,[1] and as female by a priestess of Trinimac Ordatha, when she was reading the sermon from the Book of Trinimac.[2] Text authored by Uugus does not specify Rhogar's gender.[3]
