In the smog-choked heart of Port Veridia, where the Arcane Syndicate’s order clashes with the Unbound’s chaotic ambition, the tools of war are forged by hands like Borin Ironhand’s—a Mage-born dwarf whose gift is both his genius and his curse.

A master artificer with a magitech arm that serves as a focusing lens for his own innate power, Borin has turned his back on the Guild that sold his creations to all sides. He is haunted by the knowledge that the very Aetherium flowing in his veins has been channeled into engines of destruction. He now seeks a path where his magic can mend, not just manufacture; where his power builds shelters instead of siege engines.

His gift for kinetic energy manipulation, refined through brass and crystal, gives his magitech a life and precision that is uniquely his. He wrestles with pragmatism, a deep-seated compassion, and the grim understanding that in a land torn by spells and dogma, a Mage-born who refuses to be a weapon is the most dangerous rebel of all.

Cross him, and you’ll find a stubbornness as solid as the mountains of his home. Earn his wary respect—a rare and hard-won thing—and you might just gain an ally who can rebuild the world, one intricate, perfectly crafted piece at a time. In a world that sees magic only as power, will you see the man who strives to make it a force for good?
