Mithril Forge

Notable Locations

The River of Silver Fire

A narrow, guarded flume where Mithril runs like quicksilver at festival’s height; a ladle of its light anoints a new master.  

The Grange of Hundred Dies

Vaulted press-hall stamping standard parts for bridges, pumps, and braces, kept open to any settlement with need and a fair plan.  

Clinic of the Hammered Heart

Ward and workshop combined, where prosthetics and plated splints are forged to fit while the patient learns the songs.  

The Quench of Queens

Seven sacred tanks, oil, brine, snowmelt, beer, wine, milk, and plain water, each used under strict rite for a different lesson in temper.  

The Scrap Choir

A heap of broken tools that sing faintly until someone names their fault aloud; the song ceases, and the heap gives back a lesson-token.  

The Ring of Hammers

Public forges, bellows halls, and quench-courts where apprentices learn cadence and care. Every blow writes faint temper-runes across the guardrails’ aetherglass.  

Ore-Wind Galleries

Long, cool adits where ore dries in a singing draft; smelters read the wind for sulfur and sweet rock.  

Memory Hearths

The core furnaces, silver-veined brick that remembers exact heats. Masters can recall a prior temper by chant and tap.  

Pharmaciae Galleries

Bright, tiled labs where Segojan’s wild cures are standardized into tonics, anesthetics, salves, and battlefield injectors. Copper stills whisper; ledgers are meticulous.  

Anvil Senate

A stepped chamber of anvils where guilds, Brotherhood, and Apothecary Alliance settle codes and prices. Mallets ring aye/nay.  

Shaft-Gates

Locked, oath-bound tunnels to Elemental Plane of Earth, Ysgard’s smith-halls, portals to mineral planes, and (under heavy seal) Acheron’s war foundries. Each gate bears an iron catechism of fair trade.  

Travel and Access

Seven-Locks to the Midrun

Steam elevators rise to crane-docks that exchange with Dothion’s Brasswork Bazaar and trial gear to Shurrock.  

Great Mountain

A pressure-door opens by pledge and knock; xorn customs check for cursed ore and slave-iron.  

Ysgard’s Link

A rope-bridge of chain and a chorus of rivets lead to cliff forges where storm-steel is tempered in snowmelt.  

Mineral Thread

A glittering crack many planes of Minerals, strict rationing keeps greed from collapsing the seam.  

Sealed Acheron Gate

Kept under vow and ward; opened only for rescue, ransom, or treaties against slave-smithy.  

Inhabitants

Petitioners of the Forge

Artisans, miners, fitters, riggers, reborn at their prime, soot-smiled and strong-backed. They gain steady hands and a sense for honest metal; those who cheat a measure find their grip betrays them until they make right.  

Clergy of Flandal

Masters, inspectors, and mentors who prize safety drills as highly as song. They lead shifts, audit rigs, sponsor new shops, and keep the Hammer Hymns that time the work.

True Temper Haze

Heat-shimmer that outlines hidden flaws. Those who heed it avoid hairline cracks; those who defy it hear that crack later.  

Kindling Debt

Cheat wages or skimp safety, and for a while your fires gutter, flux runs filthy, and sand pits. Making amends relights the coals.  

Runaway Flux

Mishandled reagents bloom into glassy slag and choking glitter. The floor tilts subtly toward sluices; follow the flow to the kill-switch.  

Rust Wake

Summoned or careless corrosion scars a bay; until a ritual cleansing, iron nearby ages a year each day of work.  

Mithril Murmur

The rumored liquid vein hums like a choir. When it swells, apprentices dream perfect joints; when it sinks, all clamps squeak at once.  

Forge’s Favor

Crafting, repairing, and consecrating tools for communal use lean true; fabricate/make whole/magic weapon feel cleaner.  

Oathsteel

Bind a project with a spoken vow at the Anvil Senate; that item resists rust, lies straight on the line, and holds an edge longer when used to protect.  

Apothecary’s Edge

Brewing curatives with realm-certified recipes grants steadier outcomes; mass care for a crew carries farther than solo dosing.  

Cadence Casting

Working magic on the hammer’s beat steadies concentration; benign spells read as part of the job.  

Appointment Travel

Way-walks and teleports keyed to delivery of lifesaving tools or medicines arrive with uncommon precision; casual hops meander.
