Shop Atmosphere

The forge's bellows are permanently tuned to hum a low dwarven hymn; Thorin polishes one blade for free when a customer buys Smith's Tools. He insists on carving the buyer's initials into handles 'for luck' and will barter for interesting ores, recipes, or tales of monster hides—especially chimera and rust drake scales.
