Name: Demund Eamon

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Species: Human

Appearance:

Though not towering, Demund is taller than most his age. His long hair is usually pulled back in a bandana and while technically brown, it is often mistaken for black. Toned arms and a light face usually darkened by smoke show his years at the forge, and his hazel eyes often never deviate from the task at hand.

Personality:
Demund is a man of few words. This isn’t to say he’s not friendly, but he chooses to focus more on his work than making friends. That being said, if anyone needs his help in anyway shape or form, he is more than willing to step up. You can expect to find him near any forge and anvil that happens to be nearby.

History:
The forge in Mashal has been run by the Eamon family for many years, each blacksmith greater than the last. This was especially true for Demund who began smithing since the day he could swing a hammer. His mother had sadly died during childbirth, thus he was raised and taught by his father whom he grew very close with. Day in and day out they would work with iron and steel to make all sorts of items for the townsfolk. Being the only smiths in town, Demund got to know everyone in Mashal as most metal work would have to be done by them.

Though he loved his father and knew he wanted him to take over the family forge when he was gone, Demund had a different dream. His love of smithing had grown to the point he wasn’t satisfied making simple things like nails and horseshoes forever. He wanted to hone his skill, learn under the best smiths of the dwarves and elves so that one day he could craft weapons and armor greater than any the world had known.

At first he tried to suppress his desire by buying any books or scrolls on techniques that happened to come through. When that failed he began experimenting different ways to make things, but with their limited supplies, it didn’t last long. Finally he decided to tell his father what he wanted for his future. The two had a long and stressful talk that night, but in the end his father knew he couldn’t force him to stay. They came to the agreement that as soon as his father found and trained a new apprentice to take over the forge, Demund would have his blessing to leave and begin his journeys. Until then, Demund works just as hard as before to keep his skills sharp.
