Forged bane.

"He" was once an engineer however he left the battlefield in favor of a more mundane life, however after overheard that the Balthazar army attacked an Elonian village, you see he lives at Ebonhawke you can hear all sort of stories and rumors from the elonian immigrant, he found out that the village attacked was the village where his best friend went in vacation (He was an Elonian Engineer). Really worried about the three-way conflict between the three most dangerous villains around and a dragon:
- Palawa Joko: a powerful undead and immortal lich, commanding hordes of Awakened.
- Balthazar: a now, Rogue God whom command the army of the Forged in an attempt to channel the energy from Glint scion and Kralkatorikk.
- Kralkatorikk: One elder dragon of mastodontic dimension which power is to brand people turning them into puppet for the elder dragon to command.
- The pact commander: Despite having a positive fame the pact commander killed two Elder dragon and influenced negatively the world into facing the crisis caused from the death of an elder dragon.
He decided to take the Desert Gate at the south of his city, and try go to find out his friend.

At the first step into the Elonian continent he got struck by a ghostly light whom started a ghostly presence emanating from his body, however he decided to not give it soo much thought and moved on.

The first step he decided to take into this new land was to contact the Order of Shadow, a parallel agent of the Tyrian one researching a better way to fight. His Engineer kit growth rust and he was always interested into the Elonian way: The Holosmith.

Saddly enough, once entered past the bone gate guarding the entrance of "The Desolation", he saw the devastation caused from the big-force conflict.. As he was fighting a strange feel.. The ghostly presence was infusing into him, knowledge and skills he didn't had before, but he decided to not give any second thought. .. Because the Ghostly presence was not of ill intention.

After reaching the heart of the forged base in the research of his sworn friend he was in front of a portal for the underworld and that's where he thought that maybe his friend already died in the forged first offense. As this thought passed his mind he heard a spectral voice whispering to him: "Can you hear me...? I finally sense the barrier of the mist weakening...." Even if the voice was transfigured from his death he already knew, terrorized from his first thought he advanced toward the underworld portal answering the call: "Yes i can hear you my friend" he answered. The dialogue was brief all considered his friend told him how he was watching him from the mist and infusing his knowledge about the Holosmith and that he was done and that now he could finally use that lost art to fight forged. The only cost for this was to avenge his death and once done to bring him back to tyria and give him a proper burying. Without even thinking about it, the newly awakened Holosmith of course, accepted the task.

Moving out by camp to camp his new Holosmith nature became more and more natural as he used his photon arsenal to destroy the forged army. Later he got to know that the pact commander prevailed on balthazar, killing him and dispersing the Forged army.

Having helped at very least a minimal part of this by destroying the Forged Gate Balthazar built during the event of the destruction of the Forged Maw, he finally went back to Ebonhawke where burried his friend. As he kneeled his ghostly presence vanished into the ground where, his friend could finally rest for the eternity.



*Screens are poor like my fantasy. Sorry about it.

Here some variants, at my eyes the set works with every color you may like.

- There's more ofc. For helping i'll put here a mini tip about the Exalted gloves in case you might want to test some.
The right part takes less color than the left one (bottom ofc). Some color like Darkness / Grave (Less expensive) has the quality to "whitening" any color so you may use more heavy color for the left part use either darkness or grave for equalize it to the armor color. Some colors that are naturally mixed as Midnight Fire / Ice etc.. Can give a Three/Four way color mix that actually very nice to see but makes it hard to actually make it into a set without looking obscene.

** Story may be obnoxious and my english is very poor sorry about it.
