Ornn, the Fire Below the Mountain

"Solitude always meets my expectations." Our latest champion Ornn, the Fire Below the Mountain has hammered his way on the PBE for testing!
Before we get started, here's Riot Szymba with a bug reports thread for Ornn:
"Hello, everyone! 
With yesterday's PBE deploy, we've enabled Ornn on the PBE for testing and feedback! We've spent a lot of time trying to burn down our bug count, but there are still a few things to take care of. If you happen to come across something odd during your time playing as, with, or against Ornn, please let us know through the Report a Bug tool with a description of what happened and whatever other information you can provide. 
I'll be keeping tabs on these threads throughout the 7.17 PBE cycle. Thanks for all your help and rock on! 
-Szymba"

Bellows Breath (W):
Mana Cost: 45/50/55/60/65
Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8

Call of the Forge God (R):

Voiceover

"Name's Ornn. No further pleasantries needed." Here's Ornn's full VO clocking in at just over 15 minutes.


For your convenience, here's a look at his special interactions for champions and items:


Lore

Here's the short form, in-client version of Ornn's lore:
"Ornn is the Freljordian demi-god of forging and craftsmanship. He works in the solitude of a massive smithy, hammered out from the lava caverns beneath the volcano Hearth-Home. There he stokes bubbling cauldrons of molten rock to purify ores and fashion items of unsurpassed quality. When other deities—especially Volibear—walk the earth and meddle in mortal affairs, Ornn arises to put these impetuous beings back in their place, either with his trusty hammer or the fiery power of the mountains themselves."
The Lost Tales of Ornn, a short story on Ornn, has already been released. Look for his full bio to go up on the universe page closer to his release.
