Ozul, the Sentient Forge

Ozul, the Sentient Forge presents itself to a special few individuals. Ozul was born out of an arcane mishap caused by a deity's attempt to sweep their mistake into the shadow realm. Facing nearly an eternity in darkness, the arcane energy grew and transformed, eventually taking a form similar to self-awareness. The energy learned to shape and mold the darkness, eventually fashioning great weapons for itself and taking on the name Ozul. Although Ozul remains forever trapped in the shadows, it has learned to communicate with other planes, forging bonds with other mortals who share a hatred for the gods.
