Ornn

Personality:   Ornn is the Freljordian demi-god of forging and craftsmanship. He works in the solitude of a massive smithy, hammered out from the lava caverns beneath the volcano Hearth-Home. There he stokes bubbling cauldrons of molten rock to purify ores and fashion items of unsurpassed quality. When other deities—especially Volibear—walk the earth and meddle in mortal affairs, Ornn arises to put these impetuous beings back in their place, either with his trusty hammer or the fiery power of the mountains themselves. Early life Not much is known about Ornn's early life, only tales and stories told around campfires persist, and even then the validity of these stories is not known. One such story tells of when Ornn was young. Looking for a fight with a worthy opponent, Ornn challenged the land around him to a battle. Ornn fought the land, reshaping it with each blow. He headbutted mountains, beat valleys into shape, and shaped the earth into the landscape of what would become known as the Freljord today. When he was tired, Ornn thanked the land for the glorious match, and in return, the land opened itself to him, showing him its core. This gave Ornn the power of the primordial flame, and Ornn then dedicated himself to forging tools and weapons. Another story tells of how after his first home burned down, Ornn made a mountain out of ore, and inside was a forge that channeled the primordial flame from deep within the earth. However, the mountain was too hot even for Ornn, who slept through his first home burning down around him, and so he channeled a sea of cold water into the mountain. It took three days for the home to finally cool, and the ocean had dipped a few inches because of how much water was used. So much steam had risen from the cooling that the sky soon filled with dark clouds and burst with snow. It snowed for a hundred years, and that event is what causes the Freljord to have so much snow even today. Notable Creations It is said that one day, Three Sisters came to Ornn for help. They asked him to dig a hole deep and wide enough to lure their enemies into. Ornn said yes, as he was already planning on digging a hole, and the proposed site was a fine spot. After he was done digging the hole, Ornn returned to his work. Several years later, the Sisters, having endured years of war, came to Ornn again. They asked him to forge a bridge over the abyss, made out of a metal that fell from the sky. This metal was so durable and unyielding that only he could forge it. Ornn agreed, accepting the metal itself as payment. He built the bridge, and so durable was it that it would have stood until the end of time had one sister one sister not ruined Ornn's work by casting spells onto it. In the making of this bridge, Ornn had made a tool from the star metal that he called 'hammer', as he had used it to hammer. Ornn grew so attached to this hammer that even when he had thrown away his favorite spade and eating fork, he could not bring himself to throw away the hammer. He still uses the hammer to forge his creations to this day. One of Ornn's last known creations was made when a troll, Grubgrack the Hideous, challenged him to a drinking contest. Ornn accepted and promised that if Grubgrack won, he would build him a door to protect Grubgrack's riches. When the time came, Ornn lost due to Grubgrack putting a shard of True Ice in his drink, causing it to infinitely melt and put endless amounts of drink in Ornn's cup. Ornn was angry at Grubgrack for cheating, but stuck to his word and built the door. However, once Grubgrack closed the door, he could not get it open, no matter how hard he tried. The door was indestructible, so much so that many years after its creation,a heroic man a heroic man elected to go through the mountain around the door in order to reach a child stuck behind it. Grubrack could not get it open no matter how hard he tried. Ornn did not care, and considered it justice for Grubrack cheating. To this day, some say that just before an avalanche, you can still hear Grubrack's wails, lamenting on his lost riches. The Hearthblood In time, like many other demigods, Ornn amassed a group of followers. They were legion of some of the best forgers in Runeterra who came from far and wide to hone their skills under Ornn's guidance. They called themselves the Hearthblood, for they never felt the bitter cold of the Freljord and could bare the intense heat of lava and fire just beneath them, heating up the ground. They presented their work to Ornn, and every so often he would appraise their work, calling the best creations "passable." This was a big compliment from Ornn, as he rarely ever appraised anything, instead electing to let good work speak for itself. He never admitted it, but Ornn secretly cared for the Hearthblood. He admired them for being dedicated to nothing but honing their skills, and not giving him sacrifices or preaching the misconstrued words of their god to people who did not want to hear. They made him smile, though no one could tell because his mouth was hidden behind his beard. One day, Ornn's closest sibling Volibear Volibear and his followers came to visit him. Volibear had grown jealous of the love that Ornn's followers freely gave him, and was itching for a fight with Ornn. Volibear came and asked for swords and axes for him and his army of followers, but Ornn refused, not wanting to have anything to do with his brother's warmongering. Volibear threatened to take what his brother wouldn't give, and in return Ornn charged onto Volibear and hit him with his horns so hard that the base of Ornn's mountain shook. They fought for eight days, causing lightning to strike the mountain and molten lava to explode out of the ground. When it ended, the Hearthblood were killed and their home was destroyed. Volibear and Ornn still lived, returning to their individual pursuits. Volibear swore off his brother and shed his rune-inscribed armor, electing to instead fight with tooth, claw, might, and thunder. Ornn returned to his solitary work, continuing to make weapons and armor for years to come. Recent events Ornn continues his work in solitude, not interacting with anybody. His name is still spoken, but not by many. Every now and then, smoke rises from Ornn's mountain. Some say that he is lighting his furnace to stop the fire underneath the world from going out. Others say that he is building a great weapon. And there are some who claim that he is dead, as he has not been seen in the Freljord since his fateful battle Appearance Ornn has a large humanoid-like figure with a square shaped torso and muscular arms, chiseled by his endless work of forging and crafting weapons. He has the head of a ram with large horns and a large red beard that covers up most of his face. Ornn's eyes, left arm, and the tips of his horns glow orange with the heat and power of primordial fire, and he wears nothing but a large metal apron around his torso. Personality Ornn is a quiet and stoic individual, not bothering or interacting with anybody unless they come to him. Ornn often will not do things unless he deems it necessary, even using the shortest sentences he can to get his point accross. Ornn is dedicated to his craft and works day and night, and while he takes satisfaction in his work, he does not appraise it, instead electing to let good work speak for itself. He is apathetic to many things, including the people around him. The only people Ornn has ever truly admired or respected were the Hearthblood, and the destruction of their people hurt his soul more than anything else in this world. He has not cared about anyone or anything else since.

Ornn nurtures himself from both his role as a fire and forging god and the belief and memory of worshipers.

Divine Craftsmanship: As a god of the Forge, Ornn is divinely gifted in the arts of forging. Many of his creations crafted millenia ago still exist to this day. Relations Freljord Many in the Freljord know of Ornn, yet few worship him or are considered his 'followers'. Once, an entire village of people known as the Hearthblood worshiped him and followed in his ways of forging and crafting weapons. However, the Hearthblood were all killed and their home destroyed during a battle between Ornn and Volibear Volibear. Siblings Ornn has numerous demigod siblings, including Anivia, Volibear, and many others such as Ildhaurg Ildhaurg and the Seal Sister. They were once all close, but soon grew apart due to their own ventures. Anivia In myths, it is said that Anivia once accidentally burned down Ornn's Horn Hall after trying to get back at him for felling her favorite perching trees in order to make it. Ornn did not know that it was her that did it and believed that it was his own arrogance that caused his home to burn down. He vowed to never again compliment his own work, which contributed to his stoic and quiet personality. Volibear Volibear and Ornn were once close, fighting in many battles together. However, as they drifted apart, Volibear grew jealous of the love that the Hearthblood freely gave to Ornn. Volibear and his followers went to Ornn seeking weapons and armor for battle. When Ornn refused, Volibear said that he would take what Ornn would not give, which caused Ornn to attack Volibear. Their fight lasted for eight days and neither of them perished. However, this fight killed the Hearthblood and Ornn has not been seen since. Lissandra Legends say that Ornn dug out the Howling Abyss and built a bridge over it at the request of Lissandra and her two sisters, Serylda (Sejuani's Sejuani's supposed ancestor) and Avarosa (Ashe's Ashe's supposed ancestor). How truthful the myths are is unknown. Lissandra and her Frostguard have been trying to sabotage the worship of the old demi-gods, including Ornn, in order to deny them power and influence. Braum Braum's original tribe has a strong connection to Ornn and hence his magic takes the shape of the ram. Ornn is responsible for making the unbreakable door that is used as a shield by Braum, though he's more annoyed and surprised that Braum managed to take it off the hinges and won't give it back. Udyr As a shaman: Udyr is able to harness his power, appearing as two lava orange horns on his shoulders. Aurora Aurora is a friend of Ornn, he welcomed her into his home, although at first he perceived her as a nuisance, over time he grew fond of her and as a sign of his friendship he forged and gave her a magic wand.
