“Beginner’s Guide on Blacksmithing” was written by Blanchard Raske, a blacksmith hailing from the southern reaches of [[Daendroc]].

He will most likely show you how to use it so you don’t kill yourself, butand I won’t be detailing that here. Just know that using a coke forge is more optimal than a coal
