The Murim Realm

A middle-aged man in his late 40s with a medium build, graying hair tied in a ponytail, and small, circular glasses perched on his nose. His face is calm and analytical, and his hands are always steady as he works on intricate enchantments. He wears dark robes adorned with faint glowing symbols, which pulse with energy as he moves around his workshop.

Sang-Ho is calm, methodical, and precise in everything he does. He takes great pride in his craftsmanship and is always seeking to improve his enchantments. Though he’s not particularly emotional, he is deeply invested in his work and can be obsessive about getting every detail perfect. He’s a patient teacher, but he has little tolerance for carelessness or shortcuts. He values the balance between the mystical and the practical, believing that both are necessary for true mastery.

Sang-Ho grew up studying both martial arts and the mystical arts of enchantment, but it was the latter that captured his passion. Over the years, he perfected his craft and opened the Embered Anvil, where he creates custom enchanted weapons for those willing to pay for the best. His shop is known for producing some of the most finely crafted and powerful weapons in the Murim world, and martial artists from across the land come to him for his expertise. While he takes pride in his work, he remains neutral in the conflicts of the Murim world, believing that his role is to craft, not to choose sides.
