Thomel- Master Ironsmith, Artisan Weaponsmith

Overview

Thomel is a master ironsmith living in Redhearth, a small but vital settlement in Ancient Edson. In this era, large cities like Arden have not yet been founded; communities survive through close-knit cooperation and mastery of emerging crafts. Thomel’s skill in working rare metals is vital for survival and defense.

Relationship with Myra:

Myra is a resident of Redhearth who initially admires Vear, but as her feelings go unreturned, she finds solace and growing affection in Thomel’s steady presence. Their relationship develops slowly amid the hardships of ancient survival.

Personality and Traits:

  • Age: 31
  • Focused, introspective, and deeply respectful of forging traditions passed down through generations
  • Believes forging is as much a spiritual act as a technical one
  • Loyal to his community and committed to crafting tools and weapons that embody hope and strength
  • Quiet and deliberate, often humming old forging chants or mantras

Role in the Story:

Thomel forges the visor for Vear after Vear is blinded in battle. This helm serves both as practical protection and a sacred symbol of endurance and leadership in a world still shaped by raw elemental forces.
