I’ve spent most of my life beneath the surface, working the forges deep in the heart of the earth. The rhythm of hammer on metal is my music, and the heat of the forge is my closest companion. Down in the depths, we Svirfneblin (Deep Gnomes) craft wonders unseen by the surface world—blades that sing in battle, armor that feels like silk yet holds strong against dragon’s claws, and machines that whir with magic and purpose. But I always knew there was more out there, waiting for me beyond the stone walls of our caverns. So here I am, taking my craft to the surface, ready to shape something new
