Description
Outside, the shop is a simple stone structure with a heavy wooden door. The large shopfront window is simply arranged, several bladed weapons of differing sizes displayed on rough wooden stands. Inside there is a tang of ash and smoke in the air, the ring of metal on metal heard even out into the street.

The shop itself is one large, open room. The back third is taken up by the forge, an array of tools kept close at hand in orderly racks. Heat billows out from the flames when the owner works, though wisely he has a method of banking the coals to keep the place bearable at other times. Along one wall are shelves and racks of weapons, no two alike. Swords of different styles and sizes are common, as are knives and daggers. Axes, maces, and hammers are also seen, every piece finely crafted and gleaming with care. Along the other wall, however, are several scored and chipped practice dummies, the hard wood showing signs of much use.

A simple low rail cuts the front third off from the rest of the shop, just enough to discourage the curious from wandering into more dangerous areas. In this portion there are simple stools and a rough table or two sit, a stack of foolscap and bits of charcoal on hand so that the owner and customers can sketch out ideas. Here and there on the walls can be seen strange bits of metalwork. Complex knots of steel and sometimes other metals, woven together in eye-catching patterns and hammered flat to form some sort of decoration.
