The Bloodstone Forge stands as a legendary site. Set against the backdrop of jagged rock and flowing magma, the forge hums with an ancient energy, surrounded by the restless spirits of warlords long gone. Their presence lingers in the fiery air, a reminder of the Oni's enduring strength and legacy. The forge is alive with the sounds of hammers striking metal and the crackling of fire, as artisans hone their craft. Young Oni gather here for their sacred rite of passage, where they forge their very first weapon—a symbol of their strength, spirit, and identity. As they work the molten steel, they weave their own essence into the blade, imbuing it with spiritual energy. The weapon that emerges is a reflection of the Oni’s soul, embodying their personality, strengths, and untapped potential. At the Bloodstone Forge, the heart of the Oni burns bright, forging warriors as fierce and unyielding as the weapons they create.

A rocky outcrop reveals the Bloodstone Forge, with jagged black stone formations and streams of glowing red-hot magma streaming through crevices, illuminated the surrounding village in an eerie light. Plumes of dark smoke spiral into the air, blending with the acrid smell of sulfur, while the constant hammering echoes through the oppressive heat.
