Tempest Forge

Forge enchanted weapons, rings, rods, and other arcane devices, blending traditional smithing with pure storm energy.

• Large hall split by ventilation grates that channel howling gales.
• Central forge is surrounded by protective ward rings.

Massive reinforced doors to keep pressure steady; small side hatches for supply runners.

• Light dances wildly off polished tools.
• Scent of hot metal and ionized air.
• The floor rumbles with every hammer strike.

Stormwrights (specialist smith-mages), apprentices hauling ingots, wind elementals contained in rune cages.

Arcane anvils, floating crucibles, shelves of half-finished items humming faintly with stored power.

Prototype magic weapons, shards of failed enchantments still crackling with residual energy.

Misaligned storm funnels can whip up dangerous mini tempests, flinging tools or sparking arcs.

Any item forged here takes on a faint resonance with wind or lightning, even if not fully enchanted.

New stabilizers added after a partial roof collapse from a rogue whirlwind in 342 AR.

Thick stormward columns inscribed with swirling runes, walls look half-melted from repeated surges.

If breached, built-in vent arrays can unleash a shockwave of force.

Where many of Zalara’s famous protective artifacts were born.
