Seems you've a knack for landing yourself in the midst of ugly situations. But not to worry─once the blaze dies down, the purity of your steel will be revealed for all to see. Greetings, Player. I must thank you again for the patience you have shown with Blanstyr. As ever, you are the living embodiment of everything for which this guild stands.

I know he can be a difficult old sod, but if any can show him the error of his ways, it is you. Aye, I was finally handed a letter with atrocious penmanship telling me that a certain veteran artisan had safely found himself a Far Eastern tutor. Blanstyr can be trying, I know, but I would consider it a personal favor if you could keep an eye on him.

An armorer needs to learn how to work materials of varying hardness, such as bronze and iron. And shaping them into gauntlets, shields, and helmets is no easy task.
