< On a card sent to all of the customers the forges worked with that were not the City of Silvermoon.>
To our valued customers: So that we may continue to produce the high quality work you’ve grown accustomed to we will be closing our forge to the public for the month of the festival, due to the high influx of visitors. We will still work on our orders and accept new ones through a private appointment with any of our smiths.
Those employed by Quel’thalas or Silvermoon are not affected by this closing as Silversword Forges has an agreement set up.
We hope out customers enjoy the festival to its fullest!
Sent to Symmathan Brightarrow the moment Tyleril was able to, the letter is short, quick and to the point with a simple sentence at the bottom. Such letters without the niceities were as rare as ice in Quel’thalas.
Sym-
The Dawnspire is safe. Windsong isn’t in the infirmary and neither is Razail. A favor- take care of my forge? We cannot shut down with the amount of work we have.
Shahin is a man who prides himself on his skill with a broadsword. I’m sure you’ll understand that it took me a considerable amount of time to figure out what, exactly, you should craft for him. I really liked your idea about fashioning the pommel into a phoenix – obviously any sword you make for him should match the Blood Knight colors, as I doubt he takes that tabard off even when he bathes.
His fighting style is fast, almost impossibly so for someone with plate armor and a broadsword. He moves to make the first strike and get into the defenses of his opponent before they have a chance to even consider striking back. His strokes are fluid, dexterous – they speak of many years of fighting considerably larger opponents and knowing that to win he has to be not necessarily faster, but more clever than they are.
[ The letter goes on to describe a style full of precision and rather swift moves chained together into deadly strikes. It is described in such detail that it’s clear that the writer sat there and watched for some time before penning the missive. ]
As for the style of his light magic…
Shahin is a person full of anger, and his magic reflects that. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him heal anyone – I’m not even sure if he can. All of his feelings of anger and rage are channeled into his magic, and by extension, his weapon. That weapon is going to need the ability to withstand both temperature and sheer strength of will.
I think his magic may have been beautiful, once. Born to protect, not to kill; but now…I’m not sure if it could ever recover from what’s happened to him, or it. I’m sure you understand.
If you need any more information let me know. E.
E,
Not everyone is a healer. I’ve seen Shahin fight once and it matches the detail you’ve given me in your letter. I can make metal that will withstand the temperature and magic used in it, extra work will be needed but that is a small thing to do.
I will get back to you when I have made the completed product, should you desire to give it to him yourself.
Light bless,
Tyleril
After the letter had been sent Tyleril carefully gathered everything he needed, shutting his shop down for the day to prepare.
