Lore

“The heavier it is, the more damage it causes.”

Taara’s roots lay deep within the Steel Mountains, where she obtained all of her knowledge and passion for weaponry. She prided herself on her profound understanding of them. Amongst all her crafted weapons, her earth-shatteringly strong hammer reign supreme. Primarily chosen because it was the ideal choice for the weapon forger, it became a lethal extension of herself on the battlefield and consequently unified them.

The lack of resources in the Steel Mountains set poor precedents for living conditions of the mountain-dwellers. Selling forged weapons to the city below was the mountain-dwellers main source of income. The scarcity of the mountains made the people vulnerable to exploitation, breeding discontent, and oppression.

“Why are well allowing ourselves to be subjects of exploitation and oppression?” Through Taara’s empowering words, the dwellers collectively set out to reclaim their freedom and livelihood through, if need be, violent compromise. With her massive hammer slung over her shoulder, Taara led them in formation to drive the garrison army out of the city so that she could claim the throne and prevail gracefully and justly.

“Neither god nor demon can stop the will of steel!”
