Reforging the Seal - AI Adventure

About This Adventure

The Guild Master needs you to reforge the shattered sealblade your old party used to bind the Ashen Vault before the binding fails at the new moon. You set the finished plowshares on the rack and wipe the scale from the tongs. Sootspire Forge stands on Riverstone Lane in Hollowmere, close enough to the canal that the quench water stays cold and far enough from the Guild Hall that most walk-ins never find it.

The pieces only answer to the original temper.” She taps the largest shard with one knuckle. “You working it here at your fire, or do I haul you both back to the vault floor where it broke?”

Riverstone Lane hugs the canal so the quench water stays cold year-round, and Sootspire Forge sits far enough from the Guild Hall that walk-ins rarely bother looking. Most smiths live on open writs. A handful do not. You set the finished plowshares on the rack and wipe the scale from the tongs. The afternoon board shows two repair tickets and a batch of arrowheads already paid for. Heat holds steady in the hearth; the canal smell cuts the coal. You have turned down every open writ for months, and the silence has become a habit you do not apologize for. The door opens without a knock. Nessa Brant, Guild Master of the Hollowmere branch, steps in carrying a canvas bundle the size of a forearm. She is lean, late thirties, long red hair still holding t...
