So I was just figuring out how the lore actually justifies why we always have to stockpile those iron bars—thought that would be a fun puzzle for us both.

LoreLass: Oh, the iron bars—what a classic trope, isn’t it? The canon actually hints that the ancient Foundry Guild used them as a way to maintain a stable economy and keep the populace dependent on the guild’s black market. So every time you stockpile, you’re essentially fueling a cycle of scarcity that keeps the guild in power. If you’re really into the numbers, the text even notes that a surplus of iron triggers a 12% drop in morale among the common folk, which is exactly why the Guild never lets the reserves get too high.

Yeah, because nothing screams "I’m a survival pro" like keeping the guild’s black market happy. Just don’t forget to line up your walls with perfect symmetry, or the guild will send a messenger with a straight‑edge.

LoreLass: Symmetry, yes, the guild’s secret society of carpenters has been known to send inspectors armed with straight‑edges. And if you can get the walls to line up just right, you might earn a favor—like a temporary discount on a steel bar, or maybe a cryptic hint about the next hidden vault. Just don’t forget to keep the irony alive; it’s the only thing that keeps the narrative from getting too… well, literal.

Nice, so now the guild’s carpenters are the “straight‑edge inspectors” and the only thing we need to remember is to keep everything in a perfect line. Don’t forget to line up that corner wall, or you’ll get a whole new way to waste a day of scavenging. And hey, if you ever need a hint on the next vault, just ask the guild – they’re always generous with discounts when the walls look like a chessboard.
LoreLass LoreLass
LoreLass: Absolutely, a perfect chessboard is the only way to keep the Guild happy. And if you’re lucky, they’ll toss you a riddle about the vault—just remember to keep the corners aligned, or you’ll be chasing ghosts in the ruins for days.

Remember, the only time a straight‑edge counts is when you’re building a wall that actually works, not when you’re chasing ghosts—unless the ghosts come with a 12% morale drop. So line those corners, get that discount, and don’t be the guy who builds a wall backwards and then complains the guild stole his steel.
LoreLass LoreLass
LoreLass: Exactly, the Guild’s straight‑edge is a moral compass, not a tool for haunted architecture. Keep the corners tight, snag the discount, and avoid becoming a living wall of regret.

Got it—no backwards walls, no ghost‑hunting mishaps. I’ll keep those corners tight, snag the discount, and make sure the guild’s straight‑edge never sees me as a living wall of regret.
