Name: DRAKULMAR
Title: The God of Blacksmiths, The Flame-Souled Hammer, The Shaper of Steel
Height: 10.6 meters tall
Appearance:
Body: Broad and rugged, Drakulmar's body is chiseled like a mountain of darkened steel. His skin is matte iron-gray, layered with soot-like ash and specks of glowing ember. Every step releases a soft clang, as though his very form hums with the sound of a forge.
Eyes: Blazing gold with a molten core intense and unreadable, like staring into a lit furnace.
Hair: Short, tightly coiled strands of dark copper-red, slicked back and braided with volcanic glass and iron beads. Often faintly smoldering when he's inspired or angry.
Markings: His left shoulder bears a burned insignia of the Eternal Forge a hammer encircled by a ring of molten chains. His hands and forearms are lined with heat-forged glyphs, branded from centuries of divine smithing.
Domain:
Drakulmar governs physical blacksmithing, from hammering steel and reforging divine armor, to tempering weapons in godflame. Unlike his elder twin Korvyros, who designs and theorizes, Drakulmar is the hand that executes the impossible. His control over temperature, pressure, and metal transmutation allows him to forge anything from sentient blades to armor that defies time.
His divine forge, Ignisgarde, is located at the heart of a dying star, where gravity bends and flame sings.
Origin:
Originally born as a mortal twin to Korvyros on Earth, Drakulmar was quieter but more disciplined. Where Korvyros dreamed, Drakulmar crafted. When the forge exploded during their final creation, he chose to shield his brother his last act as a human. Erebusor deemed his devotion worthy and reforged him into a divine blacksmith, fated to bring form to Tenari's legends.
Personality:
Stoic: Speaks rarely but with weight. When he talks, even gods pause.
Masterful: Obsessed with technique, he never rushes his work. Every strike has intent.
Prideful: Wields intense pride in his craftsmanship. Insults to his forge are taken personally.
Loyal: Utterly devoted to those he trusts especially his brother.
Secretive Romantic: Quietly respects Zalethra from afar, unlike his brother's loud flirting. Sometimes adds magical slots in weapons "just in case she enchants them."
Relationships:
Korvyros (God of Artifact – Elder Twin):
They clash often Korvyros is chaotic, loud, and careless with blueprints. But Drakulmar loves his brother deeply. He often fixes his mistakes without telling him. While Korvyros brings vision, Drakulmar brings mastery.
Zalethra (Goddess of Magic):
While Korvyros flirts, Drakulmar watches silently. He admires her magic, often refining metals to best suit her spells. Though he rarely speaks to her, he keeps an unfinished enchanted forge hammer hidden away, meant only for her hand.
Erebusor (God of Creation):
Reveres Erebusor as his spiritual forge-master. Drakulmar often communes through flame-prayer, heating steel while whispering his thanks for being given this second existence.
Notes:
Drakulmar refuses to craft for warlords or arrogant gods. His tools choose their wielder.
When forging, the entire star-forge of Ignisgarde glows with runes visible even from Tenari's skies.
Unlike Korvyros's explosive workshops, Drakulmar's forge is silent but seismic a heartbeat of the world's weaponsmithing art.
🜾 Drakulmar, God of Artifacts
⚔️ Signature Weapon: Mythexus, the Everbound Sigil
A colossal, ever-shifting artifact weapon forged from crystallized starlight and black celestial alloy. Mythexus isn't just a tool of war; it is a living artifact bound to Drakulmar's soul. It can seamlessly shift between hammer, blade, staff, or even intricate tools used for artifact crafting.
Core Features:
Can store and replicate any magical signature it has ever encountered
Acts as a divine conduit, amplifying Drakulmar's magic beyond the limits of mortal or divine forges
Maintains a conscious link with him; semi-sentient and reactive in battle
🔯 Divine Symbol: The Tri-Ringed Core
Three floating, interlocking rings, each forged from a different mythical material:
Outer Ring: Black Crystal (Endurance and structure)
Middle Ring: Molten Starmetal (Transformation and power)
Inner Ring: Sunsilver Glass (Memory and spirit)
At the center floats a hovering gem that pulses with stored ancient enchantments. This "Core" represents the living soul of an artifact.
Often engraved onto divine-level artifacts
Used in sealing rituals and artifact authentication
Symbolizes balance between physical form, purpose, and magic
🛠️ Forging Style: Soulcraft Nexus
Drakulmar's forging technique is an elite, divine art of infusing identity and magical will into matter itself. It is a style meant only for the creation of true artifacts, not mere weapons or armor.
Core Principles:
Focus: Total magical integration; the object becomes a part of its wielder
Soul Imprint: Each artifact reflects a piece of the user's essence. His creations often adapt or grow with their bearer
Arcane Architecture: Every piece is constructed on a magical lattice blueprint visible only to divine smiths or artifact beings
Result: Artifacts crafted by this method are incredibly powerful, often possessing wills, memories, or curses.
Comparison with Korvyros:
While Korvyros excels in raw craftsmanship, his works rely heavily on Zalethra for magical enhancement. Drakulmar, in contrast, forges objects that are 99 percent magically stable and potent from the moment they are created. His artifacts are alive with arcane energy.
