The three master blacksmiths instructed each new recruit to approach the blueprints.
"Alright, everyone, step up and study these blueprints carefully," Rurik commanded.
The recruits complied, and one by one, they took their turns examining the intricate designs.
First was a young man, a human with brown hair, who scrutinized the blueprints with intense concentration. He seemed eager to prove himself.
Next was an orc, burly and strong, who examined the blueprints with a furrowed brow. His muscular arms suggested he was no stranger to hard labor.
Then came an elf, tall and elegant, with sharp features and graceful movements. He studied the blueprints with an air of sophistication.
Beside the elf was a half-elf, who displayed a blend of human and elven characteristics. He had a thoughtful expression as he analyzed the designs.
