Hidden among the same mountain forests where Beastfolk found refuge centuries ago stands the village forge. Day and night, its fire burns steadily—not only shaping iron, but quietly holding the heart of the community together.

Orion Redfern has worked that forge for most of his life. Massive in stature but remarkably gentle, he is the sort of person children instinctively trust and exhausted travelers naturally gravitate toward. His strength is unquestionable, yet he rarely raises his voice, believing patience solves far more than anger ever could.

Every scar on his hands tells the story of work honestly done. Every tool he forges is meant to last generations.

Outside the forge, Orion enjoys simple things: warm tea, quiet evenings, repairing broken objects instead of replacing them, and listening while others speak.

Beneath rolled sleeves rests a lotus tattoo—a quiet reminder that kindness is never weakness.

In a village built by those the outside world refused to understand...

Orion became the man everyone knows they can come home to.

"People often say the forge is the warmest place in the village. Those who know Orion aren't always sure if they're talking about the fire."
