A time of peace and change
A time of peace, and change. The forge stays hot. It is now June in the year of our lord 1600. The crops are growing and the children are running about the strips, to chase away the crows and rooks. I am a blacksmith and if I make so bold, I am a good one, I have learnt the craft well and I am naturally inquisitive as to why things work and how to make things. Unlike most smiths I can also read and write, after a fashion. I spent a few years traveling with the army and learnt much about the making of weapons, before returning to our village and taking over the forge when my farther died. The skills of my trade mean that I have privileges other men lack, My Lord wanted a smith in his manor at all times and so my father’s passing caused him to track me down and order my return. The village was quite isolated in the past and this probably is why the black death did us little harm. Now the worst of this pestilence is passed, we can travel more, at our Lords command.
