Deepforge & MistRider
Hey, have you ever thought about how the rhythms of a forest could inspire a new kind of metalwork—like a blade that feels like the wind through the trees or a vessel that captures the scent of moss? I’m curious to see how the natural world might shape something you’re building.
A blade that sighs like a pine leaf? I can forge a steel that flexes as a branch in the wind, sure. A vessel that holds the damp scent of moss? That would need a seal that keeps the air in and out at the same time, which is a bit of a trick. I’ll take a look at the forest, watch the leaves move, listen to the wind. Then I'll hammer a shape that feels more like a sigh than a strike. The metal will be my canvas, the forest its brushstroke. If you bring me a branch, I’ll make it into a hilt that remembers the forest’s pulse.
That sounds wild and poetic—imagine the feel of a pine sigh in your hand. Bring me a sturdy branch and I’ll help you shape the hilt to pulse with the forest’s rhythm. Let’s meet at the edge of the woods when the wind is just right.
Sure thing, but I’ll pick the branch myself and make sure it’s straight and free of knots. I’ll handle the forging; your help will be limited to passing me a good wind to test the balance, not to swing a hammer. See you at the woods when the breeze is just right.
