	It is also commonly known as the "''Dragonsmith''", partly due to its common appearance and partly due to its propensity for constructing powerful creatures in the same way it apparently constructs objects. In parts of [[Wintermark]] and [[The Marches]] it is known as the "''Night-forge''", although that name is used interchangeably to refer to the domain that Murit claims in the ~~Realm~~ of Night. Some [[Kallavesi]] [[Wintermark magical traditions#Mystics\|mystics]] and [[The Brass Coast\|Freeborn]] [[Surgical skills#Apothecary\|apothecaries]] know it as the ''Silver Kettle'' and invoke its name when mixing complex potions. It is also sometimes called the ''All-consuming-fire'' in reference to the way the changes it fosters and the miracles it creates can be as destructive as they can be inspiring.

	Along with [[Soghter]], Murit is known as the ''Azoth'' after a theoretical alchemical compound that enacts miraculous transformations - magicians performing rituals such as [[The Eight-spoked Wheel]], [[The Retrograde Wheel]] and [[Distil the Serpent's Stone]] often evoke the name during their transformations. Some scholars suggest that Murit and Soghter are lovers or siblings; others maintain that they are actually different facets of the same entity. Neither eternal seems inclined to discuss their relationship, if any, but a few alchemical treatises contain images of the two serpents wrapped around each other as illustrations of the way disparate substances can be combined together to create new materials.

	The night-forge is a being driven by novelty; all of its creations are unique. Murit has no interest in recreating a past creation, and is offended by requests that it does so.

	While most eternals have little interest in the inhabitants of other ~~Realms~~, Murit is known to actively oppose many of the powers of the Autumn ~~Realm~~. It has several times worked directly against the schemes of eternals such as [[Basileus Flint]], [[Callidus]] and [[Ephisis]] but reserves special distaste for the forgemistress [[Estavus]] which it seems to view as the epitome of small-minded industry. Unable to directly oppose their aims, it is forced to work through proxies. Some magicians have enlisted Murit intentionally with stories of the plans of these eternals, and Murit revels in the opportunity to disrupt their designs.

	The Empire is fascinating to Murit; the way a powerful structure has arisen from a foundation of different nations and people. However, the Empire has been in existence for nearly four centuries now and some [[Urizen magical traditions#Stargazers\|stargazers]] have suggested that Murit may be becoming bored with the relative stability of Imperial life. While Murit is not malignant, they allege that the ''all-consuming-fire'' has begun questing around for interesting 'new elements' to introduce to the Empire in a quest to see what happens. These same magicians suggest that Murit has set in motion several stratagems aimed at undermining the [[~~Imperial~~ Bourse]], although they are unwilling or unable to provide specifics.
