Appearance
Magma-Shard is a fearsome goblin, standing taller and more muscular than the average of his kin. His fiery red eyes burn with intensity, and his charcoal-gray skin is scarred from countless battles and exposure to the volcanic heat he commands. His jagged teeth glint menacingly, often bared in a savage grin. Magma-Shard wears crude but effective armor forged from volcanic glass, its surface shimmering with an unnatural heat. His long, flame-shaped cloak of ash-gray and crimson sways as if caught in an invisible fiery breeze. His Magma Axe, a brutal weapon carved from obsidian and steel, glows faintly with orange veins, as though magma flows through it.
Personality and Role
Magma-Shard is the fiery and volatile leader of the Emberflint Clan, revered for his destructive power and connection to volcanic magic. While a brutal warrior, he uses his sorcerous talents to inspire fear and awe among his tribe. He is a cunning strategist, ensuring his allies benefit from his Tactical Leadership ability in battle. Despite his savagery, Magma-Shard knows the value of retreat and will regroup with his clan to retaliate with greater force if forced to flee.
