Slivers
One rule when you enter Slivers store, never, ever, ask for a discount
One of the most respected baltsmiths in Tenglan that creates durable Battle Balt weapons and armour for use in the Tremena with a dark secret that made my senses tingle with concern and the very reason I refused to shake his hand.
Slivers signature range of equipment is highly sought after due to its unbreakable properties said to come from pure Essence. This has never been proven but the fact none of his premium gear has ever broken in battle seems to validate this theory. King Johan Ganay has tried to use the baltsmiths' talented services to create equipment for his soldiers but for some reason the The Queen has banned her husband from using Slivers-made equipment.

This interview is different to others I've conducted due to my internal warning system telling me not to touch him which meant I couldn't learn the truth of his thoughts and so you'll just have to trust what he said. (I have added my thoughts on his words in italics.)
I have absolutely no idea what he meant by this and without touching him I couldn't see if he spoke the truth but his face seemed to show sincerity, so I'd guess it was true.
| Slivers loves: | Slivers hates |
|---|---|
| Seeing his gear on balter champions.
(Seems an honest answer). |
Balters coming in and demanding discounts on his gear.
(Sounds a true answer). |
| His dad.
(I have no idea if this is true but why not?) |
Dirt
(Looking at his apron and the spotless appearance of his shop this must be true). |
| Creating his signature pieces of equipment.
(Something about the way he twitched when he answered made me mistrust this answer) |
His ex-wife.
(The anger on his face revealed the truth of this statement). |
| The King.
(Seemed a genuine answer). |
Assassins. (At first I didn't understand this answer but then I remembered who his dad was - Ransy the blackmarked Wizard. This statement was true) |
| The Queen.
(His face made it clear this was a total lie - no need to shake his hand for this one) |
All his competition for they make inferior products that balters are wasting their money on.
(He believes his own words - as pretentious as they may sound) |
| Giving discounts to poor up and coming balters.
(This answer hit me like a balt to the face. An even more blatant lie than what he said about the Queen) |
Malfus the Mighty.
(A true statement since it is Malfus who's been trying to kill his dad for decades). |
His biggest regret:
He claimed he had two and both were related. The first was drinking the invincibility potion the second was killing his dog.I have absolutely no idea what he meant by this and without touching him I couldn't see if he spoke the truth but his face seemed to show sincerity, so I'd guess it was true.
Final Words:
I have mixed feelings about this interview, In the main, he answered my questions honestly but there were a couple of answers the force of his lies shocked me. I have never felt this feeling before and couldn't understand what it was, but I just wanted to get out of his shop for something dark and sinister lies within Tenglan's most famous blacksmith.
