Ironwrit

Full name Vare Ironwrit, he was a dwarf of the Empire, born late in the Golden age. Ironwrit was a channel, and was exiled from the Empire for the risk this posed. He then set up shop in Central City, until he returned to Bastion to aid the king against the dark times of the Recession.

He was best known for his unique combination of smithing and both chaos and runic magic, which he used to forge the blade Mru'Shkane , the Worldhammer , and the gates of Bastion.

Early life
Ironwrit was born in the city of Bastion, in the year 900. His father was a blacksmith, and his mother an enchantress, and the young Dwarf was torn between the two paths. He undertook apprenticeship under both of his parents, and it was in his 50th year that he produced his first blade, fortified and sharpened with runes.

Though he was at first ridiculed, he gained fame when the king himself commisioned him for a number of works. Two in particular drew attention - the Worldhammer, a war hammer made from a single gigantic bone, with the power to raise elementals to aid it's weilder; and the gates of Bastion itself, impenetrable to all mortal means. on closer inspection the king saw that these were not the product of mundane magic, and saw Ironwrit as a channel. At first this was kept secret, but as his popularity spread and the Recession began, the king saw the potential for such objects to cause great harm. Thus, he exiled Ironwrit from the Empire in his 103rd year, explaining the reasons only to the dwarf himself.

Central City
The exiled Dwarf wandered for a time, eventually coming to rest in Central city. Here he set up shop, forging more mundane items for a time.

However, on the cusp of his 120th year, at the end of his exile, he entered a gambling game with a group of adventurers in the local tavern - Ryxa Hunneld, Clair Sky , Kyle Johnson , Rylash , and Selina Tano. Later, this group arrived at his shop, where he saw the Myrmidon blade, Mru'Shkane. He worked on this, and made it into the artifact it became, finally reusing his powers.

He returned to Bastion, accompanied by the adventurers, where the king reaccepted him into the Empire.
