Where the opening job takes you — urgent hardware work for a supply wagon heading west toward the Credit Valley farms.
Sable
Sable runs the trip hammer floor. Sharp-tongued but warm underneath it. She is the one Walter Croft is sweet on — a genuine, well-liked thread that connects the forge to both York and the fort’s powder store.
What You See
Real camaraderie among the tiefling workers, but also some casual prejudice from others around them — something Anya notices and bristles at. It is here, in the noise and heat, that someone mentions almost offhand that the wagon is headed toward a farm that has been having trouble: rotting crops, spooked animals, strange mist rolling in from the tree line at night.
That is the rumour that sends you toward Benares.
A thread worth pulling
The forge crew have grievances of their own, tied to the same land troubles brewing out near the farms. If Anya earns their trust, there is more here than a day’s hardware work.
