Amongst the rustle and bustle of the Regalian Crown Isle city, the loud clanging of steel on steel could be heard echoing through the streets closest to the Golden Willow Tavern. If one were to investigate such noises, they'd be greeted by the warmth of a roaring forge and the sight of large Regal purple and black banners with wolf life decorations dotting the fabrics and walls inside.
The aging blacksmith inside turns towards the entrance and with a wry grin, rubs the bottom of his nose before starting.
"Coen forges 'ere, if you 'ave the regals, we 'ave the tool of your trade. Jus' keep yer wits about ye and act cordially. This is the 'ouse Coen's place after all. We're even hirin' if you know your way around an anvil. Let me know what ye want and I'll 'ave a word with me gov'ner".
Just a little history first. The Coen forges are widely regarded as some, if not the most highest quality of weaponry you can find this side of Farahdeen. Having boomed in Ceardia before its fall, the business grew exponentially after it arrived in Vultaro and soon after spread across the entire Archipelago. You're free to have known about the forges IC should your characters have come across them.
The thread itself will act as both an OOC recruitment thread as well as an IC alternative to ordering your weapon or tool in game. However we endorse that you make your orders in game as a way to incite roleplay. You can be recruited as a member of staff here or in game (though dwarves are heavily looked down upon) though we'd prefer some In game roleplay. You can find the forge in game to the left hand side of the Black Antiques shop on the main road to the tavern. We sell both completely IC weapons (meaning there is no in game item) for IC regals or you could in fact purchase a weapon with In game regals with personalised lore and a booklet describing the weapon in detail as well as how it was constructed.
In regards to the Guild part, House Coen has established a guild of smiths, metallurgical and mining businesses which tie in closely with the Open Ocean Merchants Guild though will only specialise on representing the metalworkers of Regalia. Again, you can apply upon this thread to join or meet with one of the Coen's in game to discuss terms of trade alliance.
Finally, please keep responses as IC as possible. Any OOC questions can be sent to me through forum pm or you can tag your response on this thread with [OOC] before your reply.
Other than that, Happy roleplaying and hope you have fun with the concept.
