VOLATILE ARTIFICE
6th of Snow's Maiden, Y49 Second Age
The humble, small foundry of Caer Raywyn has decided that we shall offer a volatite refinement lesson to four lucky individuals at no cost. We will meet to proctor those who will reserve their slot in this lesson on the artifice of casting volatite into refined low-density boomsteel, a fiery and explosive material dangerous to many.
WHAT IS VOLATITE
Volatite is an incredibly volatile material prone to explosions when mishandled. It is highly toxic and will irritate skin, eyes, mouths, and in general the senses if interacted with unprotected. Originally discovered and found in use by tribal goblins, these mischievous uruks turned volatite to steel, wrapping it with sinew to the ends of sticks or poles -- in effect, creating javelins and spears. Otherwise known as boom-sticks, these pole weapons were treated as throwing weapons to decisively end any encounters with whomever they sought to destroy!
Since its discovery by Descendants, volatite has been treated as a dangerous explosive in many different ways: arming ballista with powerful siege missiles, creating deadly javelins, forging dense axes and hammers, or quite literally crafting bombs. Our hope at our forge is to teach moral usage of such materials, and in the future the correct methods of harvesting from mines around Almaris -- without a giant explosion.
WHERE ARE WE?
We are located to the North of Myrine, just outside of the Southerland Hub. Our estate is a property of the Principality of Savoy, and their flag will be found flying upon the hill along the road. If you can not find us, send us a courier.
REQUIREMENTS
It is required that all individuals reserving a slot of our four slots arrive with face coverings, goggles, and gloves.
It is not required but preferred that all individuals bring their own blacksmithing apron, boiled in distilled water with an herb known as Athins.
It is required that should the individual fail to listen to instruction and thusly destroy our materials, they will pay a fee of one-thousand minas for the damages of both forge and material, and for endangering the lives of our other students and the proctor.
It is required that all individuals be courteous to the proctor and other students. Any offending students will be dismissed.
It is required that the individual be an adult, and that they be capable of understanding the common tongue.
You must not be a dark creature or magician, nor a dragon, olog, witch, or other malignant beast. Any who are found to be in violation of this requirement will be blown apart with our materials.
