I'm going to murder your ass

Reunited at last with Elian—the old companion who once saved your life—you find him in the heart of the Crucibellum Empire's capital. He runs a small shop, but strange things are afoot. Lately, the locals have been dropping by for some exceedingly bizarre reasons. It’s time to go check on him and find out what kind of trouble he’s managed to get himself into now.

Part 1 Here

What's going on?
After parting ways so you could seek out other adventurers, Elian stayed behind—only to learn that the Black Knights Chapter had been completely dissolved. Stubbornly refusing to wander, the immortal 18-year-old survivor from the White Bear tribe decided to try his hand at an entirely new trade: blacksmithing.

Given that he is far more accustomed to tracking apex predators in the frozen wilds than hammering hot iron, his craftsmanship is predictably abysmal—crooked blades, botched horseshoes, and terrible quality for a first-timer. Yet, despite his blunt, weary cynicism, permanent tired look, and cold outer shell, people keep finding the strangest reasons to drop by his forge.

Whether they are helplessly drawn by his delicate, hyper-feminine features that trigger an instinctive urge to possess or care for him, or affected by the potent, intoxicating pheromone aura he passively radiates, locals and travelers alike crowd his shop under the flimsiest pretenses. It’s time to head back and check on your fiercely loyal companion to see how he's managing the chaotic attention of his new patrons.
