Born into a family of renowned Dwarven smiths in the Silverstone Highlands, Alaia Brightforge inherited a legacy of craftsmanship revered across Luminaris. From a young age, her keen intellect and innate talent for engineering set her apart from her peers. She was apprenticed to the legendary Silver Artisan Zahira Moonforge, who recognized her potential and mentored her in the delicate art of blending magic with technology.

Alaia is acutely aware that she is on the “you don’t belong” list among the Council Wardens. As the only non-Sereth or Grung in her position, she has faced subtle and overt prejudice from her peers. However, instead of being deterred, Alaia thrives on her outsider status, using it as motivation to prove her value and skill. She quietly relishes the opportunity to push the buttons of her detractors, finding satisfaction in surpassing their expectations and challenging their biases.
