“In the molten heart of Mount Volkan, the fire sees all. I have learned to see with it.”
You are one of the Flamewatch, a rare order of dwarves entrusted with the secrets of Firesight—a mystic gift passed down through generations of the Volkan Forgeborn, believed to be a divine ember from the Flamefather himself. Firesight is not simply the ability to see heat or flame—it is the visionary sense of truth through fire, of glimpsing destinies as they are forged, of feeling the tremble of the mountain's soul.
Chosen at a young age through ritual, trial, or omen, you were raised not only as a scholar of the forge, but as a spiritual sentinel, watching for signs from the living volcano, listening for the will of the First Forge, and ensuring no soul tempers power without purpose.
But the fires grow restless.
Whether you left Mount Volkan by choice, exile, or duty, you now carry the burden of insight, and the terrible knowledge that something deep within the mountain is stirring.
