Appearance
Fjorm is often depicted as a relatively old smith. He is drawn and described as a strong and bulky Human, which could lead to the assumption that he actually is a Dwarf. However, his most common features are the long beard and his smithing hammer Ilathril. His most common characteristic traits are strength, imperturbability, and loyalty.Biography
Overview
Fjorm was born in Ephea, close to the mountains in the northwest. His father and grandfather both were blacksmiths and he continued the family business by becoming a blacksmith himself. He met with Rondra in 9253 b. BF in the Dwarven territory, and although Fjorm saw himself just as a normal blacksmith, Rondra sensed him being a greater, powerful creature. Fjorm was hired by Rondra and went to Lionstone, improving the quality of tools, weapons, and armor of the Humans and also smithed legendary artifacts, for example, Rondra's sword Rawanda and the shield Alengard. It is said, that his hammer also created the weapons of The Nameless.Influence
Fjorm is a so-called 'Free God', which means there are no official churches or temples dedicated to him. He is more like a patron for craftsmen and blacksmiths. King Magnus added him to the pantheon, to fill out the lack of a patron for commoners, respectively craftsmen. Many blacksmiths use Fjorm's symbol to dedicate their forges to Fjorm and pray for a steady hand before getting to work. Especially Dwarven smiths honor Fjorm and even dedicated a faction-wide holiday to him, the festival of the forge.Symbol of Fjorm by Lucimon
