“The Ironbolt Armory sits on a corner where the street narrows, its windows fogged with metal dust and polish. Racks of weapons crowd the front, while armor stands loom in the back like silent sentries. A low forge and a sharpening stone clank continuously from the rear workbench. The shop smells of coal, oiled leather, and a tang of copper. The owner keeps a pot of strong black tea simmering at the counter and pins battered helmets to the rafters as trophies. The shopkeeper is Magda Corvin, level 6 human fighter, a former city watch sergeant who opened the armory after retiring from active duty. Magda is barrel-chested with a cropped gray braid, a missing front tooth from a brawl long ago, and a scar that runs from temple to jaw. She is meticulous about balance and fit, offers free minor repairs for repeat customers, and will haggle reasonably with adventurers who bring trade or salvage. Quirks: Magda whistles a strict marching tune while she works, keeps a ledger tucked inside a hollow warhammer, and refuses to sell enchanted items to anyone she judges dishonest. She will offer a 10% discount to customers who can best her in a quick lifting contest of a 50 lb training shield.”
