11. Smithy/Armorer

clearly the home of the fort’s blacksmith, for the heat of molten metal, the smoke from the furnace and the clang of hammer and anvil leave no doubt as to its function. The owner is a robust human male named Rugarr. He has one helper, a strapping young man named Tob. Rugarr is a bear of a man with a friendly smile and a firm handshake. He is a bachelor and lives in a sparsely furnished room upstairs. Tob sleeps on a cot in the back of the first floor (the smithy proper), as befits an apprentice, but sometimes visits his parents on their farm nearby.
