Thank you, traveler. It was not an easy journey, but I have always believed that actions speak louder than appearances. From a young age, I was drawn to the art of blacksmithing and spent countless hours honing my skills. However, my half-orc background often caused others to distrust or fear me. I realized that I would need to go above and beyond to prove myself, to not only create exceptional pieces but also to be an upstanding member of society.

I am fortunate to have had some key individuals in my life who believed in me and saw past my exterior. They offered guidance and opportunities that allowed me to showcase my talent and prove my worth. Beyond that, I think my persistence and positive attitude played a role. Even when faced with adversity, I remained patient and took the time to truly hear others' concerns and fears.

There is always more to learn and new techniques to master. I make a point of studying the work of others and seeking out new challenges. When I'm not at my forge, you can often find me exploring the nearby mountains in search of rare materials or seeking out other craftsmen to learn from. It's a lifelong pursuit, but one that I am passionate about.
