Gideon Ironpaw
Blacksmith of Blackwood

In every town, there are those whose work is heard before it is seen.

Gideon Ironpaw keeps his forge at the edge of Blackwood, where the steady rhythm of hammer on iron carries through the morning air. His craft is not hurried, nor is it delicate — it is patient, deliberate, and built to endure.

Tools, hinges, horseshoes, and the countless small necessities of daily life all pass through his hands. Though rarely spoken of in grand terms, his work supports the town in ways few others can. When something must be made strong, it is brought to Ironpaw.

He is a man of routine and reliability, known more for his skill than for his words. The forge burns early and long, and its light has become as familiar to Blackwood as the rising of the sun.
