Inside, the smithy is much bigger than it ought to be, with delicately carved wooden beams reaching high above their heads. Arranged along the walls are works of wonder fit to give the most jaded eye pause. Here a necklace made of pure sunlight, there a helm of smoke and shadow. Birds and beasts made of metal so realistic that they could almost spring to life at any moment perch upon the eaves.
And there, the ur-sword. The blade that all great craftsman will aspire to in their heart of hearts and never quite achieve.
