The Best Smith in Town, The Only Smith in Town

So reads the sign above Steel and Sticks Inc.

Martin Loscan renamed his father's business after hearing about corporations indirectly, but it should be noted that Steel and Sticks is an org chart of exactly one. The owner and operator is the latest descendant of steel smiths, the fourth generation to operate a shop in the point district.

Marudian weaponry, ready made, was always been a popular import to the city, but the Loscans have been the only family to forge directly inside the walls. The Dominion keeps 'Marty' very busy and is his sole customer of late. He is known, however, to make excellent custom works for those with the requisite funding. Even if his ore isn't as pure, his family's craftsmanship rivals even the Dwarves.

Local blacksmiths throughout the river valley are the cost effective alternative for most Point District denizens. The upper ring fighters, heroes, and officials, however will pay the premium. Notably it's one of the only things that gets those elite out of the ancient parts of the Rest.
