Born deep within the stormy peaks of the Ironspire Mountains, Thalgrim Runehand was raised among dwarven master-smiths who carved runes of power into their weapons and armor. Unlike his kin, who revered the forge above all, Thalgrim possessed a mind that burned with arcane curiosity. He saw magic not as something separate from steel, but as a force that could be fused with it.

During a fateful expedition into the ruins of an ancient titan’s temple, Thalgrim discovered the Gauntlet of Anvir, a legendary relic said to grant its wielder the power to inscribe reality-altering runes. The moment his fingers touched the gauntlet, glowing sigils seared into his right hand, permanently binding him to the artifact’s power. From that day forward, he became known as Thalgrim Runehand, a dwarven mage-smith who could forge spells as easily as blades.

Now, he wanders the world in search of lost arcane forges and forgotten runic scripts, seeking to perfect his craft. Though many seek his skills, few can afford the price—his enchantments are costly, and often demand a sacrifice beyond mere gold. Those who cross him in battle soon learn that his runes are more than mere markings—they are living magic, capable of unravelling reality itself.
