Chapter 5 - The shroud of the unknowns

Mysteries abound from the old man and much like the rest of his life his fort was no different. There was a strange bunker near the eastern side of the wall the entrance on the northward side of the forge. The door was cast iron with a metal frame and a heavy iron lock, it seemed that there was no purpose for the shack but inside who knew what fortune might be found in there. The forge seemed to always remain alight for the logs would burn in a ring so that the fire could remain alight for almost a full day. The bellows were large and were posted all around the forge allowing for 4 separate objects to be smelted/forged at the same time. Currently there were only some compounds of bronze and iron on the northern and eastern side. On the large bench which seemed to be handmade out of mountain cedar planks and birch saplings for legs were several handmade molds for swords, spears, even metal coiling for bows and arrow heads.
