Name: Orlen Emberwake
Race: Tiefling
Class/Role: Blacksmith
Appearance: Orlen is tall and broad-shouldered with ember-toned skin, thick forearms, and glowing eyes like molten steel. His black hair is tied in a low braid, always dusted with ash. Two small, ridged horns curl back from his forehead, wrapped with silver thread. He wears a sleeveless forge apron, reinforced gloves, and a neck-guard shaped like stylized dragon jaws. His voice is low and gravelly, with a strange kindness behind it.
Backstory
Orlen was once apprenticed to a famous weaponsmith in Crosswyn—but walked away when he realized his true passion wasn’t in weapons, but remembrance. In the shadow of the Great Sequoia, he opened Emberwake Forge, where he reforges broken heirlooms, ceremonial tools, and relics of fallen heroes. Locals say his fire "sings" when memory is close. Orlen sees smithing as a sacred trust, and will never make a weapon without knowing why.
