The Blackstone Hammer Forge

The Blackstone Hammer Forge, those cursed and demented engineers shunned by the Sons of Ivaldi.

Created & Written by Khali A. Crawford

Structure

The Three Clans

The Forge is split into 3 Clans, each one responsible for a different craft; The Shipwrights are those who are skilled in the designing and manufacturing of Starships, from small sippers to massive Dreadnaughts. The Blacksmiths are the most ancient art and skilled in making all manner of weapons, tools, or items, Majikal or not. And finally are the Draftsmen whose craft is that of structures, buildings, forts, and castles, a humble but fundamental art.
Each clan is led by a council of Master Smiths who direct their body. And from these three Councils, three Master Smiths are chosen to speak for the whole of the Forge when in matters concerning The Starguard.

Assets

• Vatkins, The Black Forge

VATKINS is a planet that went through a cosmic storm that turned it into a massive lump of black marble, which was later colonized by Alfdis Holmstæinsson who turned it into a planet-sized Forge and is the Seat of Power for the Blackstone Hammer Forge. Many of the most destructive and incredible weapons ever were birthed here.

• Håndverk, The World Forge

Håndverk is an artificial dimension made by the forge, used to literally craft new planets, stars, and other massive projects that vatkins cannot contain. It is roughly half a star system in size and is the most protected location under the Forge's control as it also serves as the home for many of the builders who work here.

• The Armory of Barsmiðgarðr

Barsmiðgarðr is another micro-realm found by the Forge and converted into a massive weapons vault. It is where they dump all their created weapons and tools, from swords and bows to world-eating bombs and ionic disruptors. It is heavily guarded by the Forge as well as the Knights of the Round Table who just so happen to love weapons of any kind.

Military

Berserkers

While the Blackstone Hammer Forge could call on the Starguard and the Knights of the Round Table for military matters, they also employed their own armed forces. Berserkers were Golem's comprised of the highest design and quality, engineered to be resistant to Majik and unstoppable in their charge. They varied in size from smaller imp-ish designs to massive titans. They operated with an AI mind granted a certain degree of freedom and creativity. They are dangerous warriors and a wiser man would work to avoid crossing them.

The Round Table has a special soft spot for the Blackhammers, as they love weapons and the Forge happens to make some of the best known to man. The Blackhammers, however, don't share this overzealous love of tools of warfare. They see all weapons as an extension of themselves, as opposed to Round Table Knights, the brutes, who would weld an anvil to a polearm and swing it like a great hammer if allowed to.
