Halvar Fireforge

Halvar Fireforge was a dwarf artificer that was among the first to explore the frontiers of Eskarya.

Background
Halvar was born and raised in the rocky mountains of Fâerun where he was the budding assistant of his father, learning the tried and true way of working in a smithy. Though as he grew up into his teenage years, a new smithy would arrive to the mountain, telling of a new way of smithing, having the ability to wield magic like it was a forge hammer. Halvar was intrigued and would speak to this dwarf, Adrik, seeing the abilities of the artificer himself, and was amazed and enthralled at such a concept.

He would begin to learn from the man, slowly moving away from his father’s teachings, and learning more from Adrik and learning of the ways to break down magic, decode it, and control it. It would take Halvar over 20 years to learn all he could from his mentor and of his teachings. He would then continue life in the mountain for some years, before growing tired of seeing the same walls, beginning to yearn to go on a life of adventure and exploration and learn new ways of his craft.

He would set out, living like a wanderer, going from city to city, joining various mercenary groups before moving on, trying to find new ways to his craft, and better himself. Soon, he would hear of the new lands, and of Aldwin Thorne’s expedition, and his wonderlust would get the better of him, seeking to find something that may put his name into the annal’s of history.

In search of new land, pulled away from the old world in the hopes of finding new metals, magic, and the allure of adventure, as well as possibly finding a breakthrough in Artificer magic.
