Illmarinen's Forge

Origin
Ilmarinen lost his first wife to Kullervo, a man naturally gifted at magic, when he turned the cows Ilmarinen's wife was milking into bears which in turn killed her. In his sorrow he attempted to craft a new one from gold and silver however she comes out hard and cold. Dismayed he attempted to wed her to his brother who turned him away telling him of his misdeed in trying to forge a wife. Doing as he said he would rather be alone with the chance of being happy then with a golden wife who would never grant him happiness.

Effects
When a blacksmith smiths items from the forge whatever they make will come out gold. However as long as the golden item exists the blacksmith will feel empty inside and will never be happy.
