A Metal Thorne : Chapter 1

In the heart of Havenbrook, where whispers of prosperity mingled with the hum of daily life, a revelation rippled through the city—a treasure trove of tin and copper nestled in the earth, promising a wealth untold.
Among those stirred by this revelation was a master blacksmith, Thorne Ironheart, whose skilled hands and fervent passion for craftsmanship had become legendary throughout the land. With the discovery of these bountiful deposits, his imagination ignited like the roaring flames of an unseen forge, ablaze with possibilities.
Yet, an undeniable truth emerged—a forge worthy of such treasures did not exist within Havenbrook's bounds. Determination kindled within the blacksmith's heart, becoming a beacon that illuminated a path toward a grand endeavor: the construction of a forge to rival the grandest across the realms.
The endeavor began with plans etched upon parchment, a collaboration between artisans, engineers, and visionaries. Together, they conjured designs for a forge that would stand as a testament to the city's ambition—a structure that would weave dreams into molten metal and sculpt aspirations into tangible forms.
The location was chosen with utmost care—a patch of land nestled between the mines and the heart of the city, where the clangor of metal and the whispers of craftsmanship would echo harmoniously. It was here that the forge would take root, a beacon of industry and innovation.
The endeavor called for resources beyond measure—fine stones for the forge's foundation, sturdy timber for its framework, and specialized materials to withstand the fiery embrace of creation. Teams gathered, their purpose united in the singular pursuit of building a haven for the forge's flames.
Amidst the bustle of construction, the forge began to rise—a symphony of labor and skill. Walls emerged, fortified and steadfast, to endure the relentless blaze within. Machinery, crafted with precision, found its place within the structure—bellows, smelting furnaces, anvils—each a testament to craftsmanship.
