'It looks as though you have strayed a little ways from home, Hobbit, and you want to learn to forge weapons meant for fighting back the darkness?

'It seems, then, that you have come to the right place.

'You want to speak with Balbo by the forge. He will be able to set you upon the path of weaponsmithy.'

Background

The art of weaponsmithy reaches back to the First Age of Middle-earth. Those who expend a great deal of energy into this profession are sought after for their finest and even their more mundane works. As a new weaponsmith, it is best that you learn the basics of your craft.
