 “ You were the wind’s song, (starlight in your hair!)  I harkened to your singing, with wonder all a-stare.  Then to my forge I whirled and I gripped a mighty sledge  And I smashed the mighty anvil and flung it to the hedge.  I whirled on high the hammer and I hurled in the rill,  And the bellows and the forge I tumbled down the hill.  In the gold of the morning, my soul soared free,  And I laughed like a giant, and you laughed with me. ”

Forge Fire

Words: 20k Rating: T (Violence, Aftermath of Torture) Gen with minor Antolivan

Summary: Keith thought he’d passed the Trials of Marmora, but when he approaches Kolivan looking for information about his mother, he learns there are four more Trials to pass before he can call himself a Blade.

Kolivan, Antok, and Thace watch as Keith undertakes the remainder of his Trials, and they remember their own Trials—a grueling ordeal from which no one emerges unchanged. They cannot aid him in the Trials, but they can help him prepare, and they can help him through the aftermath. After all, the Blades are kin, and kin does not let kin suffer alone.

One part Dads of Marmora, one part Kolivan introspective. The “No More Dead Blades AU” (aka basically canon-compliant, but Ulaz, Antok, Thace, and Regris are all alive.)

Nothing quite like the sight of steel glowing hot!  It’s the blacksmith’s best friend.

Gods of Antiquity: Fire Deities

Source: https://www.rawpixel.com/search/fire%20public%20domain

Fire has been important to humans from long before Homo sapiens walked on the earth. It kept the night from being overwhelmingly desolate and dangerous for our eyes that aren't adapted to low light to and cooked food that allowed our brains to grow to their current size. Until recently, it was believed that the sun was a fire in the sky, explaining its light and heat. Fire holds a special mesmerism to us still, as well as being one of the most dangerous naturally occurring forces in nature.

Some cultures have multiple fire deities, depending on the source and purpose of the fire. For example, the Yorùbá people have an Orisha for blacksmiths' fires in Ògún, one for fire related to thunder and lightning in Ṣàngó, who is also able to breathe fire when angered, and another for sunlight and heat in Aggayú. Some cultures have a gods that brought fire to humans, such as Mixcoatl of the Aztec, who was a hunting god who brought fire to humans by inventing the fire drill, the method of rotating a stick rapidly against a stationary piece of wood, called a spindle and fireboard respectively. There are some cultures that link fire with the arts, such as Nusku of the Sumerian Nuska, who was also the god of fire and light, the sukkal, vizier or advisor of Enlil, the god of earth, air, wind, and storms.

The two most common types of fire gods are those of the hearth and those of the forge. Many cultures have the two types of fire separated as they hold very different domains, with many of the hearth deities being goddesses, but this is not universal. For example, Koujin is the Japanese god of the hearth and kitchen. The deities that watch over the forge, however, are nearly universally masculine. Sometimes these gods are to keep the fires going, such as Vesta of the Romans, to protect them from going out, which could be potentially dangerous. Other gods are there to keep the fires from growing out of control, like Dimstipatis of Lithuanian mythology.
