Forgemaster

An eighteenth-century Marquis de Balleroy was a forgemaster but found local wood too expensive. He exploited the discovery at Littry in 1741 of a vein of coal, and in the nineteenth century up to six hundred men were at work in thirty shafts here.

Thus, 1,550 to 1,600 livres of fonte and about three bannes of charcoal (see Glossary) might be delivered to a forgemaster, who was then expected to produce at least 1,000 livres of iron with those materials.

All ironsoul forgemasters are dwarven mastersmiths who possess skill at crafting arms and armor, but they are also great champions of the dwarven people.
