CraftWorn: The Blacksmiths Pact
In the aftermath of a war that scarred the realm and silenced its greatest forges, the name "Temperwright" has all but vanished, whispered only in forgotten songs and battlefield legends. These mythical blacksmiths once forged not just weapons, but ideals into iron,blades that resonated with truth, sorrow, vengeance, and mercy. Their craft was too dangerous to survive peace.
In the remote village of Dernholt, where snow buries memories and silence carries the weight of the past, a forge long dead stirs to life.
A stranger arrives.
Thorne Caelen, a man haunted by what he once forged, now lives in exile hiding from kings, rebels, and the ghosts of those he armed. As broken souls begin to seek him out each carrying wounds deeper than the flesh he resumes his forbidden craft, forging weapons laced with the wielder’s essence. Each gift is a gamble: a blade of justice might turn to judgment, a spear of protection might demand sacrifice.
With every weapon forged, a piece of Thorne fades. But the world, it seems, has not finished with him. His past is catching up, and the blade that once ended an era may need to be reforged forged again under oath, grief, or desperation.
