Overview

Ironhand is the most celebrated blacksmith in the Dark Forest, a craftsman whose reputation for quality has drawn customers from both factions across decades. He lost his right hand to a vampire's blade during a raid twenty years ago and replaced it with a mechanical iron prosthetic he forged himself — a feat that only improved his legend. His work is functional, brutal, and built to outlast the war.

Background & History

Born to a line of neutral smiths who served whoever paid them, Ironhand mastered the craft by age sixteen and surpassed his father by twenty. The raid that cost him his hand was not a random attack — it was an assassination attempt on a client he was protecting, an attack he survived by using his anvil as a shield. The mechanical replacement hand he built over the following year incorporates small mechanisms that allow him to apply precisely calibrated hammer strikes, making his work post-injury better than anything he produced before. He regards this as the universe's sense of humor.

Personality & Allegiances

Taciturn, methodical, and deeply proud of his craft. He will refuse commissions he considers beneath his skill and charge double for rush orders. He holds both factions in mild contempt but keeps it professional.
