Brast Thornbuckle
He forges in flame so intense it makes the midsummer sun look like a candle—then adds fireworks for good measure.
Name: Brast Thornbuckle
Race: Dwarf
Class/Role: Master Blacksmith / Pyrotechnic Artificer
Appearance: Brast is squat and sturdy, his flame-scorched beard tied with copper rings and glowing embers. He wears soot-flecked leather overalls with utility pockets filled with small ores, vials, and spark catalysts. His arms are clothed in metal bracers etched with explosive runes. His workshop belt holds tongs, chisels, and a blowtorch-like burner made from a skyshard fragment. His face is perpetually smudged with ash, and his eyes gleam with both warmth and the promise of controlled chaos.
Backstory
A prodigy at the ancestral forge of Stonehall, Brast once created the legendary “Sunbrand Hammer,” a tool that glowed at high noon. When a rival clan sabotaged his masterpiece, it detonated and nearly killed him. He left the enclave with a mission: to show the world the artistry in controlled destruction. He now travels with a mobile forge cart—called the “Summer Forge”—where he tempers metal with dragonfire, skyshard charge, and fireworks. His creations are beloved by rebels, adventurers, and showmen alike… and feared by those who like their weapons quiet.
