Writing Prompt: Dwarven
Each week, there is a 50-word Writing Prompt for a Fantasy concept on a forum that is based on a single provided word. I try to do them within the world of Orcblood Legacy, so that I can explore different ways to consider parts of the series.
I’ve decided to post these in a Blog, and enable Comments, in case anyone else wishes to partake. This was last week’s, so I’ll post this week’s directly after as well.
Prompt: Dwarven
With a hiss of oil as he quenched the blade that had been pounded a thousand times over, Bothain inspected the bright, blue runes that shined from below the blackened surface.
He extracted the masterful creation and leveled it before his eyes—before sliding it beneath the coals once more.

One hundred and thirty-seven years—and still so much to do. I am eager to finish. We’ve begun to unearth the ribcage, but it is delicate work. It will be long past my 200th creation day when we finally crack the rock surrounding the massive skull.

Nice! It’s great to see dwarves in a different kind of ground work, especially one more delicate.
A young boy’s fingers draped across a massive tempered blade, falling into the crevice of deep etched runes as they slid across. Light welled up from depths of mastercrafted inlaid jewels, pouring over the boy’s face in awe. “Gran’fathers greatest work…”
I’m a sucker for dwarven runecrafting.
