Sorcerous Origin: Soul Forge

As an Oathbreaker is running through the forest filled with only fear, they turn and see only a short and stout cloaked figure axe in hand and the moonlight gleaming off it. As the Oathbreaker draws their mace they notice the cloaked figure has moved closer and holds their now broken mace with blood staining their blade.

A Soul Forge is a being naturally connected to the magics of the forge. Commonly associated with dwarves or warforged. These naturally talented craftsmen and craftswomen are able to craft magical weapons infused with pieces of their own soul that grow along with them.
