The Darksmith Collective were a group of Karagulan artisans that were known to create powerful relics. They mostly resided in the Dark Cathedral which was located below the surface of Karagula. They were known to have created the Eternity Crystal, (PROSE: The Dust of Ages, et al.) the Mortal Mirror, (PROSE: Martha in the Mirror) and the Darksmith Agent. (PROSE: The Game of Death [+]Loading...["The Game of Death (novel)"])

They were led by the Witan, a ruling council of nine, of which Drakon was the High Minister. (PROSE: The Dust of Ages) Their soldiers were the Dreadbringers. (PROSE: The Depths of Despair)

Darksmiths had clear gelatinous skin such that their skulls could always be seen. (PROSE: The Vampire of Paris [+]Loading...["The Vampire of Paris (novel)"], The Pictures of Emptiness [+]Loading...["The Pictures of Emptiness (novel)"])

History

Varlos was the Darksmith who created the Eternity Crystal. Aware of its power, he fled the Darksmiths, taking the crystal and Gisella (the "daughter" he had created) with him. He hid Gisella on Flydon Maxima for her own safety and buried the crystal on the Moon until he could find a way to destroy it. (PROSE: The Depths of Despair, The Dust of Ages)

The Tenth Doctor faced the Darksmiths when he ended up going on a long series of adventures related to finding the Eternity Crystal and keeping it from the Darksmiths. Eventually, he discovered that the Krashoks had commissioned the Crystal. A confrontation occurred between the Krashoks and the Darksmiths which ended with the Darksmiths being slaughtered by their warrior clients.
