Shop Atmosphere

“Hekla hums old glacier songs while she works and keeps a small bowl of snow in the shop year-round (never melts). She insists on wrapping every weapon in thin oiled cloth and a sprig of dried winterberry—"for luck, and to keep the cold honest." She offers a free cup of spiced tea to anyone who mentions the name of the mountain pass where she learned cryo-smithing.”
