The Bright Forge
The Bright Forge
The Bright Forge is a modest stone building in Phandalin that serves as both a smithy and a purveyor of magical items. It is operated by Nundro Rockseeker and Thurmin, who combine their expertise in crafting and divine magic to create and sell worthy magical items.
Description
As you push open the reinforced oak door of the modest stone building, the scent of polished steel, resinous incense, and hot mineral oil greets your nose. The forge glows warmly in the back behind a curved quartz window, revealing Nundro hard at work with hammer and flame. Runes shimmer faintly in the stone walls. Thurmin, robed in deep crimson with a holy symbol of Faucci visible at his collar, gives you a firm nod.
"Welcome to the Bright Forge. If you're lookin' for cursed trinkets or blood-charms, best keep walkin'. We only sell what's worthy of the light."
