The small lawn in front of this simple stone building has a muddy pond carved into it, filled with leaves from the maple trees in the front lawn.  Chains dangle from the roof to the floor at many points along the wall, and four chimneys spout smoke into the sky.

As you approach the building, you hear the “whoosh” of the billows being pumped, followed by several seconds of metallic hammering.  You step inside the short broad door to find a small dark chamber full of many bits of armor.  Helmets lie upon pegs from the four beams in this room, while small risers offer a good view of scale mail, plate mail, and all other manner of metallic armor.  Gauntlets, greaves, elbow and knee guards are suspended with a chain, and hang from wall to wall.

In the room beyond, you see a young dwarf, Ergi Masterbeard, flailing away at a piece of work.  He is drenched with sweat and water spit from plunging glowing pieces of steel into cooling barrels.  His squat apron is made of thick hide, and his beard has been singed to tatters.  He grunt irritably at your presence, and demands to know what the hell you want.
