His skin is a smoky slate blue, marred with glowing scars from centuries of work at the sky-anvil. His beard is braided and streaked with metal shavings and sparks, and he always smells faintly of ozone and molten stone. His forge apron is singed and battered, and glowing embers drift from his hammer as he works. He wears an enchanted smith’s circlet that allows him to "hear the heartbeat of metals," an ability passed down by generations of stormforged artisans. --- ## Personality - **Gruff but Kind:** Speaks bluntly, but his heart is generous and full of quiet pride. - **Protective of Craft:** Believes weapons and armor carry the soul of their wielders. - **Suspicious of Outsiders:** Warms to those who prove they respect tradition and craftsmanship. - **Loyal to Vaelthor:** Views the king as a rare leader who values legacy over ambition. --- ## Role in the Campaign - Oversees the forging and distribution of **stormforged weapons and gear** to both giants and allies. - Provides the party with **magical weapons and armor** after they prove their worth during training. - Offers insight into **ancient crafting rituals**, lost materials, and forgotten relics tied to the gods and [[Sylrathis]]. - May become a powerful ally in enchanting or reforging divine artifacts. --- ## Motivations - Seeks to preserve the **art of skyforging**, fearing the Cloud Giants’ rebellion will lead to its abuse or destruction. - Wishes to pass on his legacy to those worthy—regardless of race. - Dreams of crafting a weapon worthy of being wielded by a god. --- ## Notable Abilities - **Anvil-Speaker:** Can speak with weapons and armor to reveal their history, memories, or hidden magic. - **Skyforged Touch:** Can imbue non-magical gear with temporary enchantments. - **Volcanic Precision:** Can smith under any condition, including mid-battle or on elemental planes.
