Dark Iron Curse

(see Dwarves) Way of the Living Weapon, or Foregeborn, as it is known to the dwarves, is a monastic tradition born from a very unlikely action. Long ago, at the beginning of The War Of Darkened Halls‌, there was a skilled blacksmith by the name of Avalasia‌ of Clan Redforge‌. Renowned for their ability to give weapons an edge so keen it could bypass even the most well-constructed piece of armor, their services were in high demand. Unfortunately, they were also afflicted with the Dark Iron curse, a type of were curse. Though most creatures become animals or gain animal-like characteristics for a limited time, the Dark Iron curse drives the individual mad with pain and rage for twenty four hours once every few weeks. Those with an especially powerful will can control it, but most turn into monstrous half metal creatures with barely any semblance of personhood. Avalasia was one such individual, and was turning at an unexpected time while watching their children. With no other choice, they threw themselves into the forge, hoping to save their children. Surprisingly they did not die, and were instead transformed once again, regaining their sanity and gaining control over the curse. Though not nearly as strong, they were able to focus their curse into different parts of their body.
