The Freehammer Forge is about as close to the Arena as Azdin Gardugan, the renter of the space and operator of the forge, could get on his budget. It isn't very large and it's surrounded by similar shops that operate at all hours. The sign that swings above the door is a painting of a stone hammer with the symbol of Torag, the Father of Creation, upon it's head. Whenever Azdin is working melodic chanting fills the space between the blows of his hammer. The small room itself is always hot, almost unbearably so. The walls are made of stone and a forge burns hot in the corner. A simple bed, table, and chair are in the opposite corner. The place is incredibly tidy with the tools of his trade well organized. A large anvil rests in the center of the room and average height, bare-chested, middleage pushing dwarf works on some weapon or another while chanting in dwarvish.
The door is always open whenever Azdin is crafting and is only closed when he sleeps or is off putting his own work to the test, reading at the library, watching a good match at the arena, or drinking at the Drunken Mermaid.
Previous Commissioned Works:
Adamantine Masterwork Rapier for Hayden Hailean
Masterwork Over-sized Greatsword for Fuu
Mithral Masterwork Buckler for Venorium
Azdin takes commissions for crafting weapons and armor. He cannot enchant them, yet. He will also in exchange for telling him of deeds of your commission will repair it when it is broken free of charge.
Craft (Armor)= 2(rank)+2(INT)+3(trained)+5(crafter's fortune)+1(guidance)= +13
Craft (Weapons)= 2(rank)+2(INT)+3(trained)+5(crafter's fortune)+1(guidance) =+13
He also gains a +2 when working with stone and metal.

Fuu walks along the street with a frustrated look on her face, despite just pulling in yet another Arena win. She mutters to herself,
"It's like this sword is cursed or something! It can only hit people during prize-fights! What's up with that?!"
As she's lamenting she hears the sound of a hammer striking an anvil with chanting as she passes by one of the shops. She stops dead in her tracks and takes a peek inside, seeing a bare-chested Dwarf hammering away. Fuu immediately perks up and says rather loudly,
"AHAH! A smith! That's what I need!"
She walks into The Freehammer Forge, over-sized blade in tow, and greets the Dwarf. Azdin may recognize her from her continual competing in Arena matches as a recurring fan-favorite, despite her unusual traits.
"Good day, Master Dwarf! Cozy place ya got here! Right next to the Arena too! Convenient."
Fuu flashes a charismatic toothy grin and continues,
"I need someone to balance out the blade of my sword. I think it's off, I can't seem to swing it quite as well as I'd like to. Think you can do it?"
**OOC: Reforge into Masterwork basically. 300gp*0.75 = 225gp

Azdin quenches the adamantine rapier he was forging in the water bucket next to his anvil and then sets it upon the anvil.
"I'm sure I can milady. Bring it here." He takes the weapon from her. "Ah yes... hmmm. Well it seems that the balance is too far forward for someone of your size, and the edge on this is will never hold. Not bad for a blade of this length if you're inexperience." He smiles at Fuu. "But I've seen you fight and you're anything but inexperienced. Sadly, I'll have to reforge it completely."
He looks down at the rapier blade he was just working on. It only needs a few more hours of work to finish up the grip. "I have to finish this first but I should be able to have your sword done by noon tomorrow."
"I'll need about 150gold to buy the large quantity of high quality iron needed to replace what is lost in the reforging, fuel for my forge, and the new mold for the blade. After my commission that will come to 225 gold pieces." He begins writing up a receipt for Fuu.
"Besides the gold I ask for only three things from you. This sword I forge for you is destined for great things, as are you. I would have you tell me for what purpose you intend to use this blade, whether or not you plan to have it enchanted at some point, and to come back to my forge here so that you may tell me of your great deeds with this weapon and when you find it tell me the swords name. The first two will change how I craft the blade."
"The third is a holy charge I would place upon you. I forge above all for Torag, the Father of Creation, he is pleased by weapons and armor forged in his name and for his purposes. I would keep a log of great deeds accomplished with this weapon to honor the weapon, yourself, and Torag. In exchange I will mend it whenever it becomes broken without charge."

Fuu puts one hand on her hip and waves the other dismissively, flashing another toothy grin, "Heheh...well it's hard for the other competitors to stand up to my 'Girl Power'. I understand their struggle."
She takes out a small sack of gold and tosses it onto Azdin's workshop table as she stares down at the tools.
Her usual outrageous, goofy demeanor changes to being somewhat solemn and sad, a side not many see of her.
"This sword has been in my family for generations...I need to it protect my sister. She's the only family I have left now. If I need to lose an eye in the Arena, fight ogres and trolls out in the field, or otherwise in order to make sure she's taken care of, then that's what I'm gonna do. I will not fail her...I can't..."
After a moment, Fuu's face lights up again as she raises her head to look at Azdin.
"Enchantment sounds neat, though! Though, I'm not not too big on flashy magical stuff. I would be happy to tell you all the great things I accomplish with this blade going forward though. There's certain to be enough to fill up several logs! WAHAHA~!"
Fuu reaches out her hand and says, "You honor me, Master Dwarf. I'll look forward to your craftsmanship."

Azdin shakes Fuu's hand. "And you honor me Fuu. I'll see you on the morrow."

Venorim warily enters the forge, giving his surroundings a once over after taking a few steps in. Upon finding the owner of The Freehammer Forge he lets out an abrupt cough, his eyes flickering around as he speaks out to nobody in particular "I've heard of a peculiar metal- one as strong as silver, only much lighter. I was looking for a-" he finally pauses to look to Azdin. "A shield."

"Of course I can fashion such a shield for you, friend." He stops what he is working on and takes Venorim's measurements. "All I ask of you is if the shield is of great service to you that you return to me and tell me of it's deeds. In exchange for this I shall repair the shield if it is ever broken free of charge."
