Krakoa
Many would-be heroes seek the skill of Krakoa, the legendary smith, to make their weapons. Though, most find themselves laughed off at the door for their theatrics.
Appearance
Krakoa takes on the form of a large-built human man most of the time, gray hair glowing red at the tips, almost singed looking. He wears a large leather apron when in this form. He also tends to stand and sit with poor posture. While smithing, Krakoa takes on his real form. He becomes a brass dragon, with a large forge built to accommodate his size. In both forms, he smokes a long pipe, though one is much larger than the other.Smithing Skill & Accomplishments
Krakoa's skill in smithing is unmatched in all of Iltarel, as he has practiced for nearly a thousand years. As a dragon, he is able to use his own fire to heat metal, allowing for much more control in comparison to using a standard forge. When he was around 300 years old, he found a way to break down adamantine and then forge it into weapons, armor, and other things. This took him dozens of years of research, but allowed for many advancements in the world. Though, his biggest achievement was smithing the weapons used by the Seven Heroes to defeat Thu'thonn. It took him two sleepless months to make the weapons. But, in the end, he came out with seven weapons: Dristered, the Solemn; Heldroal, the Earthcrusher; Avancina's Breath; Calewilde, the Inferno; Jutalino, the Silent; and Wyvernbuster.Mental characteristics
Personal history
Krakoa Jiltoronei Gelrodarte Feilreis Iraliyel was born to two red dragons nearly a thousand years ago, leaving the nest much quicker than his siblings. He was disliked among his family as he was born a brass dragon, and had a strong sense of good, completely opposing the morals of his blood.
Krakoa struggled to survive in the wild as a wyrmling, and a gruff man eventually found him on the brink of death. He brought him back to a stable condition, and Krakoa then lived with the man. Krakoa took quickly to smithing, and the man taught him all he knew.
To Krakoa, the time they spent together felt like a short few months. But in truth, Krakoa lived with the man for some 30 years, before he succumbed to an illness.
Though, he now had the strength to survive in the world, and went off on his own. While traveling through cities, he took on the form of a human, usually reflecting his age with his human appearance. While in these cities, he used his skill in smithing to earn coin. And so, for many years in cities throughout the world, rumors spoke of a boy with an incredible talent for smithing.
