The Blade Endures - The Uninspired Blacksmith

Description

Dramm looks utterly distressed and seems to be in a real bind. When you approach him, he is muttering to himself. He complains that he is completely devoid of any inspiration while trying to forge weapons alone.

Resolution: Dramm shares the tale of his close friend, Amery, a man who once worked the forge alongside him in the Abyssal Reach. Amery desperately wanted to become a master smith like Vronn, competing in numerous forging tournaments, yet he was always stopped short as the runner-up. Tragically, after one crushing defeat, he vanished without a trace, leaving Dramm wondering if his friend completely abandoned his forging dreams.
Thinking back on this fills Dramm’s heart with deep emotion; even if Amery is still alive, he must be weathered by old age by now, and they likely wouldn’t even recognize each other if they met.
