Swords and armor line the wall of the grand armory. No rust is to be found on any of the weapons. The armorer's forge bellows smoke and fire, day and night, as the king's army is getting fitted out for it's next campaign.

We are the king's personal army. We are an elite group separate from the main army. We train everyday to be the best we can be. We honor a strict code of chivalry that applies to peasant and royal alike.
Blacksmith! Can you make us war hammers strong enough to shatter our enemies shields? Of what fine metal do you have for me to work with? I am equipped with nothing more than copper and tin. I am the head of the king's special forces, we have access to any metal available in our world. A bronze shield such as this, could be broken if impacted by a hammer stronger than itself. Have you any ideas? We can add carbon to our iron and forge steel! Have you any iron, lad? I haven't seen any since a decade ago. Where did you get it?! Stolen during our last raid in the far east. Ah, that's very industrious of you. Well, give me the iron! I'll see what I can forge with it. If you can replicate the design of this battle axe in our new steel it shall cut through enemy shields with ease Steel? What is steel. It's the result of adding about 2percent carbon to iron during the forging process ...You're certain of this? Would be a waste of good iron, if you're wrong.
