The Living Forges
Sets of multiple wheels of living metal whose inner and outer rims are completely covered in eyes. At their centers rest a singing fire that is their soul and heart. They float through the air and can move metal objects through their metalkinesis. Metal can be moved into their corefire and there melted and forged with exquisite skill and craftsmanship. The Living Forges then often use these metal implements to carry out other tasks, like cutting down trees or mining for ore.
They must consume fuel to feed their fire and stay alive, as well as burn brightly to forge metals. The Living Forges grow larger over time, and are theoretically ageless, but often die as they grow older, due to their flames expiring from strain of keeping their giant bodies going if they do not manage themselves well. Still particularly long lived, and this allows them to hone their craft and and forge ever larger and grander metal implements.
Their fires are vulnerable to extinguishing, and thus they will try to avoid rain or other inclement weather.
The Living Forges form tight-knight groups of direct relatives, like the hubs and spokes of a wheel, and will go wherever the fuel and metal is most plentiful, or trade for them as needed.
The act of forging is itself a form of worship to Luda, but additional rituals take the form of trade for Market, and the ritual consumption of large quantities of fuel beyond what is normally conformatable or the sacrifice of metal and fuel by burying it in the ground.
The Living Forges find some forms of fuel more appealing and will seek them out when possible, such is luxury woods of incenses. They have some potential as cooks with their fine fire control.
Life and Death among the Living Forges is something of a cycle. When a Living Forge dies, their soul-flame flickering out for whatever reason, their wheeled bodies are added to one of their metal pillars of the dead, there to be venerated and mourned.
When loving Forge couples join their wheels together so their soul flames can touch, they can imbue smelted metal with that special something that makes it come alive and form a new soulforged, with it's flame being kindled from their shared joining. It is preferred to almost exclusively use the metal of former Living Forges for this, but if such is not available, others can be substituted, and often forms something of regionally ethnicities depending on what metals are available.
When two Forges touch their soul-flames together to make their offspring, the wheels begin to float around this new center. When they once more separate, some of the wheels split in half along the rim, meaning they gain additional, weaker wheels during the process that must be nurtured back to full strength.
Care must be taken to not gain to many wheels lest the forge smother their inner fire. Some prolific Forges might even take the drastic step of mutilating themselves to remain alive
As wheels it is perhaps obvious to say that the Forges can, in times of need or danger, roll along the ground at great speeds instead of their customary hovering, though this is uncomfortable for their many eyes.
Preferences: High combat power, decent alignment with angels and forges.
