Master Zsoltan (Kirby) broke ground for arms and armor during his time. He took me under his wing for a short while when I was quite young and interested in pounding metal. I learned many things from him and will always be grateful for his tutelage. He was definitely a powerful personality, and not to everyone's taste.

We shall never know another like him.  ~[[Eadwynne of Runedun]]
