Weapons4

A finely-polished, standard military-grade longsword. Balanced for both one- and two-handed use.

A simple throwing/stabbing dagger with a blackened blade to reduce glare.

Slightly reduces reflection in dim light (flavor only).

A masterwork longsword cooled in a dragon-ember pit. The blade glows faintly with trapped heat and is magically sharper than ordinary steel.

Atk On command (bonus action), the blade sheds dim red light in a 10-foot radius and deals an extra fire damage once per turn while lit.

A sturdy spear-like polearm with a dragon's maw etched down its shaft. A favorite of militia and mercenaries.

Slight intimidation flair when brandished (flavor only).
Armor4

Standard heater shield with a dark iron rim and a soot-streaked face. Good for adventurers wanting reliable protection.

AC +2

A flexible chain shirt offering decent protection without hampering mobility. Inner studs improve fit and reduce chafing.

AC +13

A round shield forged from metal forged in coals of a subterranean black flame. Its surface shifts between ash-gray and black.

AC +3Grants +1 to AC. Once per long rest, as a reaction, the bearer can cast darkness centered on the shield (as the darkness spell) while holding it.

Reinforced greaves that protect the lower legs; their inner lining resists heat and sparks.

AC +1Wearer has advantage on saving throws against extreme heat (such as standing near a forge or nonmagical fire).
Miscellaneous5

Full set of hammer, tongs, anvils, molds and files suitable for forging and basic armouring.

Grants proficiency bonus when used to craft metal items (flavor/tool advantage).

A viscous oil that bursts into a steady, hot flame when ignited. Useful for welding, traps or setting torches.

When thrown and ignited, burns for 1 minute; deals fire damage on impact if used offensively (DM adjudicates).

A gritty paste used to soothe burns and neutralize minor venoms. Smells faintly of coal and thyme.

Heal 3 HPGrants advantage on saves vs. simple toxins once when applied; soothes 3 HP when applied to minor burns.

A small, obsidian-like stone used to sharpen blades. Rivets a whispering hush to a freshly filed edge.

When used to sharpen a nonmagical weapon, it grants +1 attack for the next hour (non-cumulative with magical weapon bonuses).

A small carved fragment of an ancient beast's bone, polished smooth and kept warm by the owner's palm.

No mechanical bonus, though some local soldiers treat it as a good-luck charm. Mavra hushes and says it 'remembers' fire.
Potions1

A small vial of ruby liquid that mends wounds when drunk (standard potion).

Heal 8 HP

Shop Atmosphere

The shop sits on a cobblestone alley that always smells faintly of ash and cinnamon. The furnace never goes out; Mavra keeps a black veiled crow perched atop a stacked helm who watches customers. The walls are inlaid with darkened scales (rumored to be real dragon scale fragments) that hum softly at night — patrons swear the hum is pleasant, and mischievous pickpockets quickly develop a nervous twitch after entering. Mavra offers to temper a purchased weapon in dragon-ember for an extra 30 gp (adds cosmetic warm glow and improved edge; may unlock minor interactions with dragon-themed magic at the DM's discretion).
