The Armory and Blacksmith Shop is a sooty room. The 2" think stone inlaid floors and walls are always warm to the touch. Small 2" holes are placed everywhere to let the breeze glide in. Large panels in the ceiling can be opened to give direct light and fresh air, but it seems to help little. The furnace fire on the North wall is large enough for 4 blacksmiths to work at the same time. Three large bellows are needed to maintain the heat of the fire. The water from the tanks on the first level are pumped up to this area, where a series of pipes twist and turn under the great furnace to create heated water for the Guild Hall. The rest of the room is lined with racks of weapons and armor in different stages of creation. Finished items are locked away in special display cases. Most of the items are for common use, with little or no designs, but a few pieces are highly decorated. Along the Southern wall are bins of wood and crafting tables for the Bower and Fletcher. In this area racks are lined with long and short bows and full quivers of arrows. A few crossbows can be seen here and there. All four of the heavy doors of this room are made of wood, and are banded with metal straps. The doors can be barred from the inside at both the top and bottom. Someone can always be found in here.
