You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.” ((How do you respond?))
In the towering Great Mountains, a resilient dwarf, scion of the revered Irehearts clan, was raised amidst the resounding echoes of the Great Forge. His childhood was a tapestry woven with the teachings of his legendary blacksmith father, crafting a foundation for a destiny that would be shaped by the relentless pursuit of mastery. A poignant undercurrent marked his youth, as his bedridden mother, besieged by a mysterious magical ailment, passed away when he was but 12. Her final words ignited a solemn promise within the young dwarf—to become the realm's greatest blacksmith. With unwavering dedication, he spent tireless days and nights refining his skills until, at 15, he earned the rare privilege to forge a slayer steel weapon. Crafted with ethereal prowess, a dagger that could cleave through reality itself took form. At 20, he left his mountainous home in Urguan to traverse the realm, absorbing wisdom from esteemed blacksmiths. Setting up his forge in a serene town at 21, he embarked on an adventure, driven by the legacy he aimed to etch into the annals of blacksmithing as the greatest artisan the world had ever witnessed.
