The forge smells of coal, oil, and lemonwood smoke. Every finished blade in the shop bears the Armoria clan symbol—sometimes subtly, sometimes flamboyantly. Brenna does not haggle on the workmanship of a blade but will accept rare materials (adamantine, mithral, star-iron, elemental cores) as partial or full payment; she keeps a ledger detailing the material value she assigns. She hums old dwarven anthems while she works and insists everyone remove metal gauntlets before touching the counter. If you ask about commissions she will almost always invite you to show her any material you have — and she'll take a hammer to it to demonstrate possibilities.
