A Blacksmith Training Montage

[2hell_weride]

(Cut to a bunch of similar shots of hammering and wiping sweat off his brow)
Characters: MarKus Haley & his employees/entourage
Where: Just outside Aquares Ixen
When: Starting from April 6th, through until the end of the month
*(This will not interfere with in-game events)
Summary: MarKus chooses to take his training outside the city, for the sake and sanity of those around.  Also training montage!
Warnings: Fantasy Violence and Mild Language (Rated T for Teen)


MarKus has set himself up at a campsite outside Aquares Ixen, with a tent, a large fire, and an anvil.  There's a few other scattered work supplies as well as specifically placed stones and dozens of iron ingots.

MarKus was just 'enlightened' to a means to infuse crystals into weapons, and to him, that means he needs to perfect that theory, lest a weapon break or otherwise explode due to not being forged properly, or mishandled and something happened he didn't suspect.  He's sent out letters and spoken with people about helping work with him.


Though no true prompt exists for this post, people are welcome to come bother MarKus during his work, or help out.  Mages can help heat and cool metal as he works, as well as fighters can spend time fending off monsters as they see fit.  Though a "schedule" will exist for those he's agreed to employ, anyone is free to come and go as they please, either visiting daily, or camping out long-term.  Characters can even start up threads that don't EVEN include MarKus!  And even if you didn't speak with him about this directly, I totally encourage you to pop in as though you had before, or are just showing up now to lend a hand.

MarKus will be at this until about April 29th before packing up and going home, fully confident in his new skills!
