Always using his round glasses to fix his bad vision from years of seeing flashes and sparkles, his tired skin reflects his lifetime of commitment to his artform.

Behaviour
Warduul can best be described as a man who function at 1000mph, both for good and bad. Having a warm heart that his always willing to help others, he is, at the same time, very hard to convince into something, something that comes from a lifetime of only being able to trust himself to get a job done. Always working despite starting to get into his 60's, the only things he loves more that blacksmithing and smoking is his wife, Lavd'aa, the only one capable of bringing down his speed from 1000 to 10.
History
Warduul Kinbar in, without any doubt, one of the most talented blacksmiths to live in Ordus, so the stories tell. At age 12, after getting his talents noticed by a Governement Official that was patrolling across the Farmlands of Vantalux and discovered the boy making money by crafting equipment to whoever needed it, Warduul was shipped into Heavy Industrial. In those factories, put into heavy work and under great surveillanc,: he was no longer Wardull, son of Kira and Alda, but Wardull, property of the Central Government of Vantalux. And the truth was that, in a time of great need for making discoveries and progress in regards to Vanta, Warduul Kinbar was one of their best properties.
As he grew into adulthood, he gained more and more status within Heavy Industrial and the Government of Vantalux itself: his role in the development of Vanta got increasingly bigger, as well as his responsabilities and duties. It was fair deal: the Government allowed him to tinker with all he wanted and provided him with anything he request and he kept on being their dog, following the command given to him.
However, when he was almost in his 40's, something happened... Something that only he and the heads of the Central Government of Vantalux have knowledge of, something that no one else know. It was, for some unkown reason, enough for Warduul to make the decision of walking away from everything: the house he was given in the Commonwealth, the almost unlimited access he had to Vanta, all the projects he had been working on so far and much more. The weirdest part? The Government allowed him to do so, not putting a fight against it. Just like that, Warduul Kinbar abandoned a lifetime of work.
With his wife - Lavd'aa, with whom he fell in the love the moment their eyes crossed ways in the flower store she ran in Vantalux - he moved to Haven in order to start a new life. With his savings, he was able to open his very own shop: "Sparkles of Hope", with which he went back to his roots of simple blacksmithing work. Why?
Because, despite never going into detail, the man once known as "Heaven's Hands" has refused to work with Vanta ever since he left the capital.
it is good to see you again, o blacksmith mine. Intrigue with the events of your life has unquestionably granted you favor with the deities. I am just dying to know where your path will lead you next.
