Modern Worshippers: Hephaistos

The most beautiful and useful things spring from their hands. Many of them work on prosthetic limbs to make them more durable, lightweight and even stylish for those inclined. It’s hard to find a piece of clothing not spotting with grease or dusted with stone powder. The forge is their home, whether that be a literal forge, a place in their mind, sketchbooks or craft stores. They swap ideas over emails and some make weekly visits to the wounded veterans to show them the progress to cheer their spirits up. May the heavens help you if you pick on someone weak in front of them; they’ll knock your block off. Pages of rants against bullying of all kinds tends to be plastered across their social media.

They are the hardest workers of them all and they do it with a smile.
