Description
Dian de Saloum is the fourth prince of the Saloum Kingdom and an older brother to Lloyd de Saloum. From an early age, he displayed a strong fondness for magic, but due to a recognized lack of natural talent in that area, he chose to pursue a different path. At the age of ten, he decided to become a blacksmith and left his homeland to study the craft in the neighboring kingdom of Bartram.
In terms of personality, Dian embodies the temperament of a dedicated craftsman. His manner of speaking is often described as rough or having a rough edge, but this belies a core nature that is genuinely kind-hearted. He is a dedicated worker driven by a clear personal vision.
His primary motivation and dream is to create swords that are imbued with magical power, known as magic swords. This goal extends beyond the personal satisfaction of creation; he ultimately hopes to establish an official Magic Swordsman Corps within the Saloum Kingdom, demonstrating a desire to contribute to his nation's military strength in a meaningful way.
Dian’s role in the story is closely tied to his younger brother, Lloyd. As a skilled blacksmith who can work with magical properties, he is able to collaborate with Lloyd, who possesses immense magical ability. Together, they have worked on creating a magic sword. In these collaborations, Dian has demonstrated the ability to apply basic fire magic, such as a technique called Diroad, to his forged weapons. This fire magic is noted to be a considerably weakened version of a much more powerful flame, reflecting his limited but practical application of magical principles to his craft.
His character development is rooted in a formative decision made in his youth: accepting his limitations as a direct magic user and redirecting his passion for magic into the complementary field of blacksmithing. This decision defines his life's work and his unique niche within the royal family. His notable abilities lie not in casting powerful spells, but in his blacksmithing expertise and his specialized knowledge of how to infuse weapons with magical properties, particularly fire-based enchantments.
