Shop Atmosphere

“The Ember & Anvil is warm and loud; bellows hiss and the anvil ring is the shop's clock. Brom Ironhand hums an old dwarven forge-song while he works and insists that customers remove cloaks before stepping near the forge 'lest you catch on fire and ruin my bellows.' He offers free tea to customers who bring broken weapons and will haggle more readily if you're willing to wait while he repairs something in exchange for a discount. Brom keeps one mug for 'good luck'—it never empties unless guests sing for it.”
