Transform a dilapidated blacksmith shop into a thriving business within a demanding and infinitely dynamic world! Navigate relationships with local bandits, merchants, clergymen, and the competing forces of French and English armies. Oversee a workforce full of unique personalities, upgrade your equipment and facilities to craft superior goods, beautify your smithy to draw in wealthy clientele, and above all – keep your head firmly on your shoulders!

Construct your ultimate smithy

Expand your operation by building new rooms and subterranean facilities to tackle increasingly complex commissions. Whether it's a basic kitchen, sleeping quarters, a timber-cutting station, or a woodworking studio – every space must be properly furnished and decorated to serve its purpose.

Every choice carries weight

Your customers, alliances, and decisions shape everything! Carefully balance your standing among rival factions, each of which offers distinct perks and safeguards for your growing business. The commissions you accept and how you handle each faction ripple outward through the game world, producing outcomes that range from heartbreaking to hilarious to utterly bizarre.

Rise to legendary craftsman status

Juggle incoming orders while steadily building your prestige to draw the attention of the wealthy and distinguished. Keep an eye out for extraordinary commissions that command top coin – from a baron seeking a breathtaking ring for his daughter to a roaming knight insisting you hammer out a truly singular sword.

Assemble a crew of skilled artisans

Oversee a diverse staff, each bringing their own abilities, wage expectations, personal needs, and distinct character traits. Ensure their satisfaction by constructing dedicated facilities, adding creature comforts, and personalizing their living spaces. Outfit your crew with specialized tools to accelerate production, and expand your library with new volumes to sharpen their skills.
