The New Weapon Added to The Roster

In the heart of the winter mountain region, the night descended with a hushed reverence as if nature itself paused to witness the celestial performance. The rugged landscape, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, revealed a pristine canvas of snow that extended across the undulating slopes and embraced the towering peaks in a blanket of frozen serenity. The jagged silhouettes of the mountains stood like ancient guardians against the starlit tapestry, their solemn profiles softened by the ethereal luminosity that painted the landscape in hues of silver and shadow. 

As the night unfolded, a crystalline stillness settled over the mountains, deepening the sense of solitude and magnifying the exquisite isolation of this winter wilderness. The air, crisp and invigorating, carried with it the unmistakable scent of pine and the subtle sweetness of frost, weaving an olfactory tapestry that heightened the sensory experience of the night. The ground, beneath its snowy veil, crunched softly with each step, the only audible disturbance in the profound quietude that enveloped the peaks and valleys. 

The celestial vault above, adorned with an array of stars that seemed to burn brighter in the cold, clear air, imparted an otherworldly quality to the mountain night. Occasionally, a celestial ballet unfolded as a shooting star streaked across the sky, leaving behind a trail of transient brilliance. The wind, a gentle maestro, rustled through the branches of snow-laden evergreens, creating a melodic interlude that added a touch of whimsy to the austere symphony of the winter night. In the distance, the haunting howl of a lone wolf resonated through the valleys, a poignant reminder of the untamed majesty that dwelled in the heart of these frozen peaks. 

With the passage of the night, the mountains retained their secrets, a silent witness to the celestial theater that unfolded above. As the first tendrils of light emerged on the horizon, the snow-covered expanse underwent a gradual transformation. The soft blues and icy purples of the predawn sky deepened into a palette of rosy hues, casting a warm glow upon the mountain landscape. The sun, an ascending sovereign, kissed the peaks with golden radiance, illuminating the snow-capped summits in a breathtaking display of nature's grandeur. The transition from night to day in this winter mountain realm was a slow and deliberate unveiling, a visual symphony where the night's hushed lullabies gracefully yielded to the radiant crescendo of a mountain sunrise. 

Eldric stirred in his rugged log cabin within the cavern, awakening to the cheerful chorus of birdsong. The ambient glow filtered through the wooden walls, revealing the earthy warmth of the rustic interior. Eager to embrace the day, Eldric donned his attire, the wooden floor cool beneath his feet. Stepping outside, the brisk mountain air greeted him as he stood on the rocky precipice, the sun ascending above snow-kissed peaks. 

The delicate balance of coldness and warmth enveloped him, nature's symphony resonating in the crisp air. The sun's golden fingers painted the landscape, casting a tranquil glow on the secluded haven. 

Eldric smiled as he felt the sun's warmth on his face and the coldness of winter beneath his feet. He slowly made his way towards the small horse stables to feed and take care of his chores for the day. 

When he finished, the morning had already been halfway past. He then made his way towards the House to see what needed to be done or if he could go back and cultivate. After last night's session, he knew it would be a while before he could step into the realm of knights once more, but he soon would. 

That was all that mattered to him; he would soon be able to become a knight once more. 

As he was walking, he heard a thundering shout echo throughout the basin, "Yahoo!" 

Eldric was curious as to who would be shouting, and he walked in the direction of the shout and soon made it to the Blacksmiths workshop with a crowd gathered around it. 

Caspian stepped outside his workshop, cradling a masterpiece that commanded attention. In his hands, he held a war hammer of unparalleled beauty and craftsmanship. The massive weapon stood at an impressive 170 cm (about 5.58 ft), its presence both daunting and captivating. 

The war hammer's blade boasted intricate pale blue and silver frost motifs, a testament to Caspian's artistic finesse. The metal sparkled in the sunlight, evoking the ethereal beauty of winter. The handle, crafted from well-suited alpine Oakwood, bore a smooth and sturdy texture, a perfect balance to the ornate frost patterns on the blade. 

As he revealed the war hammer to the crowd, gasps of awe rippled through the onlookers. The combination of the imposing height and the delicate frost motifs created a visual symphony that left the spectators spellbound. The pale blue hues seemed to dance with the sunlight, casting an enchanting glow on the surrounding faces. 

Caspian's eyes mirrored the pride and passion that went into forging this masterpiece. The crowd, captivated by the artistry and sheer magnitude of the war hammer, erupted into applause. 

The House congratulated him on his creation, and when Eldric arrived, the group bowed to him and greeted him. He quickly made his way to the front, and when he saw the war hammer, his eyes could not help but shine. He asked curiously, "Then does this mean you have? -" he was cut off, "Yes! Finally, after 10 years, I have advanced to a Tier 3 Novice Blacksmith," Caspian said with pride and joy radiating off his body.
