Haldor Stoneforge stands as a paragon of craftsmanship and metallurgy among the Dao. Known far and wide for his unparalleled skill with the hammer and anvil, Haldor's creations are sought after by warriors, mages, and royalty alike. Haldor's origins trace back to the fiery forges of The Underland City, where even as a young Dao, his fascination with metals and the art of forging was evident. Under the tutelage of the then-master blacksmith, Haldor quickly rose through the ranks, absorbing knowledge and refining his skills.
A giant among the Dao, Haldor stands over seven feet tall. His hulking frame, tempered by the fires of countless forges, is a sight to behold. His skin, reminiscent of burnished bronze, is crisscrossed with veins of molten gold that seem to pulsate with an inner fire. A mane of fiery hair cascades down his back, and his eyes, the hue of smelted iron, hold the wisdom of generations. A black obsidian mask, engraved with runic symbols, shields his face while the lower half of his body floats gracefully, a testament to his genie lineage.
Rising to the rank of master smith, Haldor opened The Molten Anvil as his own blacksmith shop where he could further refine his art. The Molten Anvil is not just a forge but a testament to Haldor's dedication to his craft. Carved from the heart of a dormant volcano, this forge harnesses the raw, fiery power of the earth. Here, Haldor melds ancient techniques with innovative methods, producing weapons and armor that are both functional and works of art.
