The atmosphere in the hall had been electric throughout the Auction, but when the Siren announced the final item, a hushed anticipation swept through the crowd.
Samar, still ecstatic after his successful bid for the Sage's Tome, felt goosebumps on his skin as the spotlight fell on the final item - a short hammer and a massive anvil!
"This," the Siren's melodious voice echoed, "is the Volcan Hammer and Cleansing Anvil, a treasure forged by the Fire Dwarves using the Volcanic Fire and Ore."
The moment the players heard of its origins, their expectations of the treasure rose. This was because Fire Dwarves were one of the only three truly neutral races, capable of protecting themselves, including the Dracoblins and Merfolk!
They inherited the crude Art of Volcanic Forging from the Primordial Giants and perfected it, becoming the masters of Artifact Forging Arts.
