Ignathar
Ignathar is an ancient and intelligent fire elemental bound to power The Cold Forge within the Dwarven Layer of Kazad-Khrom.
History
Originally bound by the dwarves of Kazad-Khrom millennia ago to serve as the forge's perpetual heat source, Ignathar was abandoned when the dwarves severed its binding during their retreat. Despite being technically free, it remained confined within the forge due to its elemental nature and the surrounding stone. It has since entered into a new partnership to reignite the forge and aid in ongoing containment operations.
Abilities and Role
Ignathar provides the intense, controlled, and harmonic heat necessary for industrial-scale metalworking, particularly with Adamantine. It can communicate in Primordial and possesses an intrinsic understanding of the forge's systems. It has warned that draining the mountain's lower depths risks stirring dormant entities.
Recent Events
Ignathar provided the precisely modulated heat required to forge Dreamstone into psychic shielding circlets, a process that required harmonic synchronization with the material's unique resonance rather than brute force.
