In the heart of Unity Forge, where the rhythmic pounding of hammers and the crackling of fires echo through the cavernous halls, there resides a figure whose presence is as enigmatic as it is electrifying, Old Spark. Unlike the traditional dwarves of the forge, whose demeanor often veers toward the solemn and stoic, Old Spark defies expectations with his vibrant personality and boundless energy.
With hair as white as freshly fallen snow and a beard that seems to dance with the flickering light of the forge, Old Spark commands attention wherever he goes. His laughter, booming and infectious like the rumble of thunder, reverberates through the corridors, infusing the atmosphere with a sense of warmth and camaraderie.
But beneath his jovial exterior lies a secret as ancient as the mountains themselves, a tale steeped in the lore of gods and mortals. Born of divine lineage, Old Spark is no ordinary dwarf; he is the son of Moradin, the revered deity of dwarvenkind.
In ages long past, Old Spark stood among the gods, his knowledge and wisdom rivaling even that of his father. However, his heart was filled with a desire to empower his mortal kin, to share with them the ancient secrets of Rune Magic that had long been kept hidden in the depths of the earth.
With unwavering determination, Old Spark descended from the divine realm to walk among the dwarven people, his mission clear: to teach them the art of Rune Magic and elevate their craft to new heights. But such knowledge came at a cost, for the gods viewed the sharing of such power with mortals as a breach of the sacred balance between heaven and earth, and an act that nearly caused 2 races to go extinct. Because of his actions the Elf/Dwarf wars were fought.
For his transgression, Old Spark was cast out from the realm of the gods, condemned to wander the mortal realm for eternity as a penance for his actions. Millennia passed as he roamed the earth, his true identity hidden behind a facade of mortal flesh, his divine lineage a closely guarded secret known only to a select few.
Yet, despite his exile, Old Spark remained steadfast in his mission to uplift the dwarven people. Through his teachings and guidance, he became a beacon of inspiration and knowledge, his legacy woven into the very fabric of dwarven society.
But the weight of his divine heritage still hangs heavy upon him, a constant reminder of the choices he made and the price he paid. And though he longs for the day when he may be welcomed back into the embrace of the gods, he knows that his path is one of eternal exile, his true identity forever hidden behind the mask of mortal flesh.
Despite the weight of his divine burden, Old Spark remains steadfast in his duties at Unity Forge. Responsible for the upkeep of the Lightning Rod, a task he has performed for countless centuries, he channels the raw power of lightning into the forge's magical creations with unparalleled skill and precision. His mastery of bottled lightning and rune magic has propelled Unity Forge to new heights of innovation, revolutionizing the craft of thunder-forged weapons and magical items.
But Old Spark's contributions extend far beyond the realm of craftsmanship. His boundless enthusiasm and zest for life are an inspiration to all who know him, encouraging those around him to embrace each day with the same fervor and passion. In the bustling halls of Unity Forge, amidst the clangor of metal and the roar of the fires, he stands as a beacon of creativity and ingenuity, his presence a testament to the enduring spirit of the dwarven people and the magic that resides within their hearts.
