A stalwart dwarf with an ironclad resolve, Thornstone stood before his clan's forge, witnessing the flames flicker as shadows of doubt crept into his heart. Once revered for his craftsmanship, he faced scorn after a botched weapon forged in haste for the king. Determined to regain his honor, he sought the legendary Fire Spirit, yet the spirit demanded a sacrifice—a piece of his very soul. In a bold choice, Thornstone struck a deal, forging a blade of unmatched power. Upon his return, he battled inner demons as much as the foes his new weapon conquered. His legacy was restored, but he would forever bear the weight of his choice. His motto became, "To forge greatness, one must embrace the flame within."
