Shop Atmosphere

“Saltanvil Forge sits on a stone quay where sea-spray fogs the windows; fishing nets hang from the rafters. Brom is a squat, soot-streaked dwarf with a braided beard and a habit of humming old harbor shanties while he works. He keeps a bowl of brine and a rag by the door and dips tools in the brine to 'teach them the sea' before sale. He greets customers with a clap on the shoulder, will haggle but prides himself on fair weight and honest tempering. If asked about magic gear, he squints and asks for a tale of storms in exchange for favors — he's partial to a good storm story and a hot mug of grog.”
