"… What do you mean… we cannot make plate armour?"
Ben voice kept breaking from his heavy breaths as he tried to take in the fresh news, he heard from Tias sweet voice.
It turned out his master had not forged new plate armour for anyone since he had arrived in Alynthn.
It was not that he did not work on plate armour.
He still would repair armour of adventurers now and then however he never forged a new set of armour for anyone.
The major issue was the financial cost and the labour force required behind it.
Tia explained how the smithy would need a line of blacksmiths working together to handle and forge a steel plate large enough that could be cut to create the plated armour.
It some cases, if the smithy were funded well enough and was located close to flowing water, a mechanism would be built into the frame of the building which would power a large hammer or specially crafted rollers.
