Smithing
In use
Ore into metal, metal into everything.
What it governs
- Two stages: smelting at a furnace, then smithing at an anvil with a hammer.Charter, Part IV — Production group
- Bronze is copper and tin in one fire, and nobody is handed the recipe.
- Iron fails half the time at the furnace, until a mage learns superheat.
- Reaching above your level ruins the bar. Ambition costs materials.
- Coal demand pulls mining, hauling and trade behind it.
What happens today
A bar struck over a stone becomes a blade, an axe or a pickaxe; with a feather by, arrowheads.

The anvil and hammer. A bar is struck only over a stone, into a tool or heads and nothing else.
