Bertrand's Blacksmithy

The blacksmith is located just a short walk from the South-East entrance of Meridian, it is a modest single floor building.
There two external forges fuelled by charcoal, as well as one large anvil and a series of tools hanging from hooks in the ceiling beams. There are two internal kilns, one additional internal forge as well as three additional anvils.

Purpose / Function

The blacksmith provides weapons and armour for the town's Guards, as well as offering free repairs for them if their items are damaged in the defence of the town.
Additionally, the forge provides numerous metal based materials for the town such as nails; brackets; hinges; handles and more practical day to day items.

Architecture

The building is constructed from sandstone and oak wood, with heavy support beams holding the weight of the heavily ventilated ceiling. The floor is a solid granite tile, dense enough to take some damage if heavy tools or crafted items are dropped, and also fire proofed to prevent embers and sparks triggering a full blown fire.
