Terizla

The Ravens then returned Terizla to the Monastery of Light. They threw him deep into the dungeons and bound his bloodied and battered body with enchanted chains. Left alone in his cell, Terizla cautiously raised his weary head and looked down at his iron shackles, where deep within the chains was the engraved symbol of the Freesmiths Guild. He had spent 10 years in captivity.

The iron, forged by his own hands, now imprisoned their master craftsman. Stunned by the irony of his situation, Terizla felt a white-hot hatred boil through his veins. In a fit of rage, Terizla threw himself to the ground, yanking at his chains, screaming in both anger and pain. He vowed to fight the Church to the death and make it pay for all they had done. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not free himself from the power of his own creation.

Just as he was about to surrender, Alice, the Demon Queen, entered the chamber. “How pitiful that the Church destroyed your entire family.” The Blood Demon lifted Terizla’s chin with her long, pointed fingernail. Do you want revenge? I can help…”

Terizla raised his head as Alice leaned closer and whispered, “The only thing I ask in return? Join the Abyss. Unleash the terror of your legendary skill on all who have wronged you.”

As soon as he heard her cursed promise of revenge, the flickering glow of the lone dungeon lamp roared in Terizla’s soulless eyes, and the master blacksmith was no more. Alice had managed to earn the Abyss a new master with an insatiable thirst for revenge.

He has long, shining golden hair. His great hammer and knightly armor are golden and slightly pointed. His eyes glow yellow. He is a massive, strong man, almost three meters tall. He is very strict and cruel because of his past, but he is gentle with his family.

Terizla's wife died at the hands of the Church, but his son Julian survived, and was adopted and protected by the heavenly queen Zetian.

Terizla’s craftsmanship and standards, no matter how strict and exacting, always produced the finest creations from the forge. Due to their high quality, the Free Smiths Guild’s works were beloved throughout the Monian Empire and quickly snapped up as soon as they hit the market. And now, seething with envy at the Guild’s success, competitors bribed Terizla’s apprentices to send a secret message to the Church: “Heretic” Terizla had always created his creations with the help of Black Magic!

Before his son’s sixth birthday, Terizla spent several days in his workshop outside the city, preparing a special gift for him—an exquisitely detailed statue of their family. Terizla worked on the statue with such care and attention that it took him until his son’s birthday to finally complete it. Eager to surprise his little boy with a gift, Terizla hurried home excitedly. However, an ambush of Raven assassins sent by the Church awaited him.

Realizing that something was wrong, Terizla tried to break free from the siege, but was just as quickly pinned to the ground.

“My wife! My son!”

To Terizla’s moving cries, the knights of the Church and the Raven stormed the fortress of the Free Smiths Guild. Within minutes, the air was filled with echoes of screams and painful cries.

The Raven leader grabbed Terizla by the hair and forced him to watch as the fortress burned to the ground.

As head of the Free Blacksmiths Guild and spiritual leader of the anti-Church alliance in the city of Lumina, Terizla repeatedly ignored the commandments of the Church, openly defending the interests of fellow blacksmiths approved by the Church. His blatant disregard for the teachings of the monastery earned him both the Church's disfavor and the label of "notorious heretic" of the city of Lumina.

In addition to his rebellious nature, the principled Terizla was also known for his exceptional craftsmanship. He was a man of great skill, respected by his colleagues for his unsurpassed rigor and precision. His scrupulous eye would not allow even the slightest mistake in the forge. Any apprentice who tried to cheat him with imperfect work was severely punished. The frustrated apprentices often complained about this among themselves, but none of them dared to express their grievances against Terizla aloud.

The once respected master craftsman was now known as the infamous Executioner of the Abyss, but Terizla didn't care. Ever since the Church declared him a heretic, he had wielded his hammer solely for revenge, for the day when he could finally calm the restless souls of his kin.
