The River Stone Forge
A compact but highly efficient structure consisting of a large, open-air workshop under a heavy timber roof and an attached fieldstone cottage. The anvil is positioned near the edge of the stone platform to catch the afternoon light, while the residential wing provides a warm, soot-free escape from the day's labor.

The air is thick with the scent of charcoal and hot iron, balanced by the smell of woodsmoke and baking bread from the living quarters. The rhythmic clank of the hammer provides a steady heartbeat to the property.

History
Workshop Services
The forge offers standard repair services for martial weapons and heavy armor. Elara charges 5 gold pieces per day for the use of her equipment by experienced adventurers, provided they bring their own coal.
Residential Layout
The living quarters feature a semi-large communal room serving as both kitchen and parlor. The three bedrooms are arranged in a row: the smallest belongs to Kellan, the middle room serves as a guest space or storage, and the largest is Elara's private chamber.
Specialty Materials
A locked iron chest near the primary hearth contains several ingots of cold iron and a single, small bar of silvered steel reserved for high-priority commissions.
