Poppy's hammer

So it's probably too early to speculate (but who cares? Let's do it!) but has anyone wondered about the origins of Poppy's hammer?

It can't have been forged by Yordles. It is too big for them to use normally (I mean that it doesn't seem to be made with Yordles in mind). And it seems to belong to a destiny of some sort, thus implying it is very old.

I have three takes on it. The first being a runic weapon from Targon. Though the only runic weapons we know are Pantheons spear and shield. I don't know if Leona and Diana's are runic weapons (they are passed down though) because I tend to see them like Illaoi's sphere: they help channel their power.

Runic weapons are innately magical. This isn't shown through Pantheon outside of his spear never missing. But this hammer summons hammers from the ground! So maybe it's an ancient runic weapon.

The second idea is that it's older than Mordekaiser. Possibly having a hand in his defeat. Though I haven't thought into this one yet.

Finally, could it be a weapon from the blessed isles? This is probably a much bigger stretch, but I think it's worth considering.

Thoughts? Any theories to share?

I personally feel that it was forged by Yordles or Demacians... most probably that it was forged by Yordles.

Sure, the Hammer is big, but, have you seen the other yordles?

Tristana Boomer is bigger than her, and she doesnt seems to have problems with that. That Hextech Cannon is also an standart weapon in the Yordle Army. Veigar His staff seems to be havy and large, but that is not the case... have you seen that claw? IS SUPER BIG, and lets not mention his hat. Lulu Massive Hat and Staff... again. Gnar MEGA GNAR Heimerdinger The H-28Q Apex Turret is bigger than him. Rumble "Tristy" is a giant robot. Ziggs Carries a giant bomb on his back without problems.

Yordles dont actually seem to have problems carrying massive weapons, they have a lot of knowledge about hextech and even magic (maybe), Illaoi also seems to call them "spirits".

Forging a hammer like that woulnt be strange, less if you consider that in the old lore, Blomgrun (father of Poppy) was a yordle blackmith... and Riot seems to be keeping part of the lores from the champions that they update (See GP and Vincent the Shadow)
