The City of Elders is an ancient, mystical place spoken of in legends across the kingdom. Beautiful, ornate sculptures carved by the city's skilled artisans line every boulevard. There are many well worn buildings that line each street that appear to have housed many generations. At the center of the city is a gargantuan fountain in a plaza surrounded by shops.

I am the local blacksmith. I repair items made of iron as well as create new ones. I am frequently covered in soot as my job requires a lot of ash and heat.
Good day, citizen! Hello there, Blacksmith! What have we got going on here today? Not much, not much. I'm wondering if perhaps your horse needs new shoes.  Ah yes, she does. I also need some gardening tools sharpened up and fixed.  Excellent! I'll be happy to do that for you. When can I expect you by my shop? It will be later in the week. I do not have them on me right now. I came to see if you'd be able to do it for me. I know you get really busy this time of the year. I'm glad you did. Yes, the orders are pouring in, but I'll be sure to keep time open for next week so I can get it done quickly.  How is everyone else's business going out through here? I heard rumors of possible invasion, but it would be silly of anyone to try. Maybe. But no city is unassailable. It might be a good idea to have your sword sharpened too, if you have one. I am carrying nothing, only my apron. I have fallen on hard times without a garden. Ah, I see. You depend on it for your livelihood. Well, I can give you this old thing I'm carrying. It's mostly just a display sword, but it might make any would be attackers think twice.  Can you sharpen it?
