Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/A Distinguished Weapon Smith Seeks Shelter

Word spreads throughout the Ascendancy of a renowned weaponsmith who is currently traversing the realm in search of an ideal location to establish his workshop. The reputation of this master craftsman precedes him, and he brings with him a set of distinct demands.

First and foremost, he requests a reliable supply of raw materials to fuel his creative endeavors, an essential prerequisite for any accomplished weaponsmith. However, his second demand sets him apart – he will exclusively dedicate his craftsmanship to forging the finest weapons, eschewing the production of commonplace arms. Consequently, his presence will not significantly contribute to your manufacturing sector.

Additionally, he makes it clear that he will be discerning in choosing the individuals worthy of owning his creations, implying that he may decline to sell his weapons to those he deems unsuitable. This declaration is bound to ruffle the feathers of local merchants and nobles alike, who may find themselves excluded from acquiring these coveted weapons.

As the ruler of the estate, the decision rests squarely in your hands. Welcoming the distinguished weaponsmith will require you to commit to supplying him with quality raw materials while expecting relatively little in return. Balancing the prestige and potential benefits of having such a master within your domain against the discontent of local merchants and nobles is the challenge you must face.
