Personality.
History. Hothar’s origins can be traced back to the dawn of Fastalbeins Empire, from the moment he lifted a hammer he began crafting weapons and armor. Hothar emerged as a being of boundless creativity and unwavering determination, which drew the attention of his king, Fastalbein. When Fastalbein ascended to godhood, and the era of the divine began, Hothar continued to craft items. Fastalbein met with the smith and challenged him to a contest, whomever could forge the better weapon would win. Hothar at first refused, not wanting to challenge a god, his former teacher and king.
Eventually Hothar agreed to the match and after one week of forging, they had finished. Fastalbein had made a marvelous longsword, ordained with Imperial Gold patterns. Hothar had crafted a weapon for his king, a large maul made of an everburning magma elemental core and a mineral found in a massive bioluminescent cavern. The item he forged was the Blazemaiden’s Maul. Fastalbein was proud that his apprentice had surpassed him and remained humble, he wanted to reward his efforts and offered Hothar a place in the kingdom of the divine.
Hothar agreed and became the God of The Forge, and from the moment Hothar became a god, he displayed an innate affinity for craftsmanship and the forging of celestial metals. He honed his skills, delving deep into the mysteries of metallurgy and imbuing his creations with divine essence. These weapons, items, and armors became known as legendary artifacts, most of which were created by Hothar, but the other gods had also created their own or made them as gifts for others while some were even created by mortals.
As a civil war erupted among the gods, Hothar found himself thrust into a pivotal role. Witnessing the suffering and devastation wrought by the malevolent deities, he vowed to channel his craft towards the preservation of harmony and justice. Amidst the roaring flames of his celestial forge, Hothar toiled tirelessly, pouring his heart and soul into the creation of legendary weapons and artifacts. Each piece bore the mark of his indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication, becoming a testament to his artistry and unwavering resolve.
With the aid of Hothar’s formidable creations, the tide of the war shifted in favor of the benevolent gods. The enchanted weapons proved to be instrumental in overpowering the malevolent deities, ultimately securing the realms of the gods from tyranny and chaos.
Following the decisive victory of the benevolent gods, Hothar’s name resonated throughout the divine realms as a paragon of ingenuity and valor. His creations became revered relics, symbolizing the triumph of righteousness over tyranny and the enduring legacy of the god of the forge.
