True Smithing

The combination of real-world craftsmanship and fantasy feels fresh and immersive. I'm curious what inspired this unique fusion and how it shaped the story.

While I loved the deep dive into smithing techniques, some parts felt a bit slow. Was that intentional to build atmosphere or a challenge in balancing technical detail with story?

The world-building felt so vivid and plausible—was this inspired by real historical smithing cultures or entirely imagined from scratch?
