DrColossus Posted January 31, 2014 [My first MOC for Historica! Learning to create interesting scenes and figuring out photography. All comments appreciated!] Clang! The sound of hammer ringing on red-hot steel fills the cold, clear morning air. Clang! The sound of Olin the Smith, son of a Bay of Storms merchant, preparing a fine sword here at his outdoor forge. Already this week, he has prepared several plain soldiers' blades, a mask for a helm, and a shiny new breastplate. He has to get up early to be so productive, so he rises before dawn to stoke the fires. As the heat builds it melts the night's snowfall, exposing the struggling grass beneath. Clang! The smith thinks of many things as he works. How is his father coping with the rebuilding efforts? Will Olin get enough customers at this out-of-the-way spot to earn enough money to go learn with the dwarves in the mountains? Why is he using this comically over-sized fighting hammer instead of a proper smith's tool? Why didn't he build some kind of shelter before setting up shop? And where did Sigrd, his horse, wander off to? Clang! Olin trusts that he will learn the answers to these questions on his travels, and many more besides.
