Rise of the Runelords

Red Dog Smithy is Sandpoint’s main blacksmith shop, known for its sturdy ironwork and reliable craftsmanship. Located near the southern edge of town, it’s easily recognized by the sign depicting two red mastiffs above the entrance, named after the owner’s loyal dogs. Inside, the smithy is hot and noisy, with the steady sound of hammer on anvil as weapons, armor, and tools are forged. The air is thick with the scent of molten metal and soot, and the walls are lined with swords, axes, and practical tools. The forge burns steadily, casting a warm, flickering glow. The smithy is run by Das Korvut, a gruff and ill-tempered man known for his exceptional skill and tragic past. He lost his family during the “Late Unpleasantness,” leaving him bitter and withdrawn. Though surly and reclusive, his craftsmanship is unmatched, and his loyal red mastiffs guard the shop faithfully.
