Hilda goddess of the Forge
Hilda didn’t just come from fire, she is fire, born from the furious clash of volcanic magma and biting northern winds in the harsh lands of Scania. Once a mortal woman forged by brutal tradition, her family ensured her birth in the heart of flowing lava, binding her soul to the raw power of the forge itself. There’s no sugarcoating Hilda, she’s tough, relentless, and demands excellence without excuses. Blacksmiths across Baltharos worship her as the ultimate patron of craftsmanship, and her work, always magical, can be found in the most prestigious shops, prized for its quality and unique elemental properties, shaped by the environment where it was forged.
