Shop Atmosphere
“Ardun hums forge-hymns and blesses each finished weapon to his patron (Moradin) whether customers ask or not. A soot-black cat named Sinter naps on the warm bellows and will judge anyone who asks for a 'bargain' too loudly. The shop's anvil has a small, deep nick shaped like a crescent moon; locals say it marks where Ardun once tempered a dragon scale. Ardun prefers trades of exotic ores or components over coin for very rare work, and will often tack on a 'soul-warmth' fee — a small token or story for his ledger if you want priority service.”
