Chronicles of the Eternal Bond

Grit & Gears Workshop: A mix of fire, steel, and invention, the Grit & Gears Workshop stands out from the rest of Duskridge Crossing. While most of the town clings to the past, this workshop pushes toward the future. The smell of hot iron and oil lingers in the air, while gears, half-finished blueprints, and mechanical parts clutter nearly every surface. A heavy forge blazes in the back, where traditional blacksmithing still thrives, but alongside it are strange contraptions—mechanical limbs, gears, and even the husk of an unfinished automaton. The owner, a sharp-tongued but brilliant machinist, works tirelessly, balancing old-world craftsmanship with new-age invention. Despite her innovations, many in town remain skeptical of her work, muttering that machines have no place in the West. But those who need something repaired, forged, or built from scratch have no choice but to step through her doors.
