## Introduction

Sanguerrihn was a dwarven smith who lived within the Naraza mountains. Very little was known about the dwarf, but according to Evan Trayne he turned into a creature of the depths, worshiped as a god of death and rebirth with cults formed around his person. Nobody seemed to know if he was still around, but the people claiming to have seen him described a mad, whispering shade.

Ilea eventually encountered him in the depths below the ancient city of Paarah. He appeared as a dwarf with a slightly crooked nose, a long beard down to his stone chest armor his eyes were silver. The two wound up fighting almost immediately. During the fight he was arrogant and considered her to be no more than a mere beast, though he did acknowledge her fighting prowess before forcing her to teleport away with an overwhelmingly powerful curse.

It was revealed that Sanguerrihn original identity was Savien Velmark, first enchanter of Paarah. His wife Mira Velmark and their son Jasha was killed at some point. Aki theorized the death of his loved ones drove him insane and hellbent on revenge, leading to the downfall of Paarah.

## Power and spells

He wielded the same cursed liquid silver as his creations, though more like rivers than threads. Some of the silver also took the form of spikes or a shield around him, and he was capable of summoning a copy of himself made of the cursed material called an Embodiment of Silver. He also spread heat and fire and could summon small fiery spheres that would explode. He also wielded a hammer that could summon powerful whirlwinds. His bracer could summon the purple arcane lightning of the North and shape it into spears. The other bracer wielded the power of void magic. He also seemed to have some sort of teleportation spell. His most dangerous attack was a spell called Primordial Curse that overwhelmed Ilea with curse power. She had to cut off cursed body parts and regenerate her entire body gradually to even survive it, and it is very likely to be a 4th tier spell.

## Cursed artifacts

The cursed creations of Sanguerrihn have harmed or destroyed several cities over the last few thousand years. Even the Taleen lost three cities to them and took heavy casualties just to bury the artifacts. There are also stories from the Pit and the Soul Forge, with Khan Joggoth in the former giving up on tinkering with the cursed items as they were far too chaotic to be used. The normal way of dealing with the artifacts is to encase them in lead and cobalt and bury them in the deep or throwing them into the seas.
