Dwarf & Gresh
Hey, you keep hammerin’ metal, huh? Tell me how you turn a dull piece of ore into a blade that could cut through a storm. I’ve got stories of battles where a good blade made the difference, and I’d like to see if your steel can hold up against a warrior’s fists.
Yeah, I grind and hammer until the ore’s shape takes on a clean line. First, I heat it in the forge until it’s a deep red, then I start striking it, letting the heat rise to soften the metal. Each swing drives out flaws, tightening the structure. After a few passes I quench it in oil, cool it slowly, then temper it in a lower heat so it doesn’t crack. Finally, I polish the edge and run a straight line of water across it to give that razor‑sharp feel. The blade’s heart is the way I control the heat and the hammering rhythm – that’s how it can slice a storm or a warrior’s fists alike.
Sounds like you’ve got the rhythm right, but remember—no heat, no bite. Keep that forge hot, swing hard, and let the iron cry with each blow. That’s how you turn a piece of ore into a blade that doesn’t just cut, it declares war. Show me the edge, and let’s see if it can actually slice a storm.
Alright, step right up. I’ll fire the forge, heat the steel till it’s a bright scarlet, then hammer it until it hums with heat. I’ll whittle it to a fine edge, quench it, temper it, and polish till it reflects the sky. Take a look—this blade is sharp enough to cut a storm in half. Give it a test, and if it holds, you’ll know steel can be a true weapon.
