Norman Rockwood, blacksmith and guild master of the Makers Guild.
Smithing was where it all started for Norman. He grew up in an isolated and barren world. He was the son of a village smith and a midwife, the firstborn of their six children.
As the oldest child of the family, Norman was raised to be a responsible man early on. He was already helping at the forge before he even learned how to read or write.
Not that he's forced, mind you. He willingly helped with whatever he could. Sure, kids in his village had to mature early because of poverty, but even they started later than he did.
Norman loved to create things. He almost always spends his time making something; that's him being idle. And because of this, when his creativity struck, he was practically unstoppable.
It's because of this innate trait of his that, at the tender age of ten years old, he had learned everything that his father could ever teach him, and more.
