Iron and Shite
The Iron and Shite is the blacksmith shop in the town of Oceania. This shop is run by Taldek Breitheim, with the help of his brother. Taldek is a very good blacksmith, and often travelers show up to see his wares or just to converse with him. He is a very charismatic fellow, and he definitely earns the money he gets, since he is very good at his job. This is one of the few buildings and shops in Oceania, and he has owned this for many years.
The Iron and Shite is a store that is made of only iron blocks. It took a lot of ore and a lot of money, but it looks very well, and certainly made people look at it. The store thrives on having Vondutt, Taldek's brother, go to Scrag Caverns to mine for ore, with the help of workers he hires. Vondutt then brings this ore back to town, and Taldek uses it to craft weapons and armor, as a typical blacksmith would.
Purpose / Function
This store is the business of Taldek Breitheim. It is his, and his brother's, life work. They have travelers come through frequently just to stop by and shop. The weapons and armor are very well made, getting people to come back for the cheaper prices and high quality. Taldek's goal is to help people by selling them very good gear for a lower price.
Design
The size of the rooms in the building are fairly big. Similar to most blacksmith buildings, there is a large shop area in the front, with a counter towards the back of the room. There is another room, slightly smaller, that has all the tools Taldek uses, like his anvil and hammer and such. There is a storage area off of that room, and even further back is a really nice office that Taldek rarely uses.
Entries
There is only one entrance to the building. Taldek has been meaning to put in another entrance for emergencies. But never got around to it.
Sensory & Appearance
Like many other blacksmith buildings, the temperature from the inside is way hotter than outside, this is because of the furnaces and smelters. The smell that emanates from the building is molten metal and burning coal, it isn't a great smell, and it certainly can't be great for your lungs, but that's what comes with the work.
Denizens
Taldek Breitheim and Vondutt Breitheim work here, and many different people come through to purchase goods.
Contents & Furnishings
There is a single stool among the tables and displays in the shopfront. There is a bench outside built into the building also. There are also two seats in the work room, and there is a decent amount of seats and a desk in his office.
Valuables
There are many valuables here. Money comes through here a lot, so Taldek has a large safe in his office. There are lots of weapons and armor, which is costly, and there is a lot of ore. There isn't really much else of value, unless you count the actual building itself, which was incredibly expensive to build.
Hazards & Traps
Unknown. None hopefully.
Special Properties
With the town of Oceania, there are strange powers at work, allowing people to feel happy and swim faster and in some cases, even breath under water. This building itself doesn't give off these special properties, but it is in the town that has the special effects.
Alterations
The building started as a small wooden building, but Taldek and his brother made changes after a few years of working there. They expanded and made a reinforced wooden building, but managed to upgrade to stone after a while. Then came the iron blocks, since it fit the name Iron and Shite better.
Architecture
It is a large building, consisting of iron blocks as its exterior. It is a little rough around the edges, but it definitely looks nice and catches the eye. It is a single story building as well.
