Auya's Metalworks
Inside is a large furnace that dominates the back wall. This was a forge purchased from the son of another blacksmith. The man had died, and his son unloaded it as quickly as possible, with all the tools included. The forge was purchased by the Aukari woman named Auya in Arc 716. The inside of the forge was cleaned up, some tools replaced, and soon Aeva's Metalworks opened for business.
Auya's forge became known for being cheaper than a lot of the nicer forges, though the quality was lower too. But the woman didn't turn anyone away, took orders on credit, and always completed her orders in a timely manner. Soon her shop was a staple in this part of town, Auya's became the go to for the local neighborhood. Anything that was needed, she made. Door hinges, lamps, low quality weapons, whatever people asked for, she made. People in the area came to know the forge.
There are no items on display in the forge to sell. Auya only makes items to order, she doesn't keep stock. As such, all business is negotiated before work begins. Beneath the forge is a larger, dusty storage area, where she keeps extra timber, coal, and ores, as well as other tools. It has a thin set of metal, spiral stairs in the corner. This leads up to the forge, as well as up to the second floor, where she lives in a small apartment. It is quaint, with a fireplace, a bed, and table, all in one room, overlooking the alley. There's a hatch that opens up to the roof.
