About
A Hearth and a WorkshopPerched at the water’s edge in Shirogane, Melchior’s Forge serves as both Erston’s home and his place of work. The hammer’s ring is often heard before dawn, echoing through the morning mist. Just out front, the forge burns quietly through the night — a beacon against the sea breeze.Each piece is shaped by hand. No mass production. No shortcuts. The goal is not perfection, but integrity — the same principle Erston once carried into battle.“A blade should speak for its maker before a word is ever said.” - Melchior
Lore
Why ‘Melchior’?The forge is named for Erston’s late mentor, the quartermaster and smith of the Garlean 86th Special Detachment forces. Melchior taught that the worth of a weapon lies not in how much blood it spills, but in the steadiness it brings to the hand that wields it. He also taught that to forge is to heal — that each strike of the hammer can shape not just metal, but the soul that guides it.Erston carries that lesson still — in every hammerfall, every reforged edge, every ember that refuses to die.
Inquiries & Commissions
Melchior’s Forge accepts limited commissions for weapons, armor, and specialized metalwork. Every project begins with conversation — no forms, no fuss.To inquire: Send tell or in-game letter to Erston Greatman (Brynhildr).Response time may vary depending on workload — and tide.Messages may be left with Erston's assistant, Meilyne, but reliability is questionable.
