Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura - Jormund

Jormund is a rare sight in Arcanum—a dwarf who has chosen the path of magick over the familiar embrace of steel and gears. Living in Qintarra, he is known as a mage of Fire and Force, wielding flames and unseen power with surprising mastery. To many, his very existence is a contradiction, for dwarves are bound to industry, not sorcery. Yet Jormund defies expectation, proving that even stone can carry sparks of the arcane.

His gift, however, comes at a cost. The blood of his race resists magick, and every spell he casts drains him with twice the weight. Still, he persists, driven by a will as unyielding as the mountains that bore him. For Jormund, mastery is not ease but endurance, and each incantation is a triumph over the limits of his nature.

In Arcanum, Jormund embodies defiance and resilience. He stands as a reminder that destiny is not bound by tradition, and that true strength often lies in walking the harder path—even when the world insists it cannot be done.
