Vorin of Darkmere was an ancient lord of the Elves. Legend says that ten thousand years ago, when the elves were more widespread throughout Elara, Vorin (who is known as the Smith to the Elven gods) created various weapons and armour for numerous elven legendary heroes. The location of the elven hall which was known as Vorin's Smithy remains a mystery to this day. The elves have secretly admitted that it is not within the borders of M'rat. The legend says that Vorin, smith of the elven gods, was forced to shoe mortal's horses for a living after the rise of humanity. It is said that if a traveller left his horse and a coin beside the smithy, when he returned the horse would be shod and the coin gone. However, if the traveller did not pay or attempted to watch then nothing would happen.
