Varmod has been The Fatebound’s Marshal of Steel since the organization was founded centuries ago. In fact, when the dragons of Vrunthull banded together to fight back against the invading Volic army, they paid Varmod handsomely to build incredible armor and weapons for them. It was then that Halanaestra Oriberos first witnessed his masterworks. Even though he had been working for her enemy, when it came time to find someone to equip her Fatebound and protect them from the many threats of the realm, she knew she couldn’t settle for anything else. It took many expeditions into the mountains of Auzivall to find him. Halanaestra expected reluctance to assist a former enemy, but instead, she found a fire giant who cared fare more about craftsmanship and pioneering the art of metalworking than former alliances or petty wars.
Varmod knows that the time of his people has long past, so he hopes that his legacy will live on in the things he creates and the students he teaches in the Fatebound. He is friendly, if a bit reserved, but his many students often describe an incredible, intense anger that bursts from him when working the forge, as he pounds steel into precise and potent forms. He has never turned this anger against a person, just metal, but its source is as much a mystery as the reason he lost his eyes.
