It's a Steel!

It's a Steel is Farpoint's blacksmith shop. Though fairly small, it has excellent access to raw materials and customers due to its location in Farpoint, and as a consequence, it houses specialists in almost every type of ironworking, including a weaponsmith, an armorer, and a ferrier. They also have a bronze smith.


In charge of the establishment is Master Dorvig Rode, a seasoned Dwarven ironsmith and decent company besides. One needs only speak briefly with him to realize that he, with his great fondness for puns, was the bastard who named the shop.

Architecture

Unlike most of Farpoint's other building, It's a Steel is built in the stout, squared off style of the Northern Clans, and is of stone construction. It is also immediately apparent why none of Farpoint's other buildings are built in such a manner--despite the large dwarven population--as the building is sunk halfway into the marshy tundra, and the floor sits at roughly a 10 degree angle. Thankfully, the forge and smithy itself is separate from the main shop, and are situated atop flat stone foundations sunken all the way to bedrock. When asked why the main building was not put on such foundations Master Rode has only ever said that he didn't expect it to sink.
