Tristan can feel with every fiber of his body that before his three months are up, another huge battle will come.
The last fight with the Forlorn elves merely served as further confirmation of his feelings, and another proof that there are still too many things missing for him to create a proper lineup for battle.
First, he needed some good equipment, both weapons and armors. The orcs' current weapons are just normal steel, not even strong enough to be considered tier 1 equipment. It would be such a shame to deprive them of at least that much, for his strong orc forces might be defeated or even died because of a lack of proper equipment.
Buying tier 2 and 3 swords would cost too much coins. Hence, Tristan decided for the town to open up their own blacksmith.
They would build the place and hire veteran blacksmiths to forge custom-made weapons and armor.
For this to happen, Uriel needed some gold coins to set up the workshop and buy the materials.
