  1. Local Forges

    Share Share Post
    There are three forges around, one at White Mts; and in Collon. One forge has a doorway shaped like a big horseshoe. It was made by Lord Mazareene. The smith makes certain farm implements. The shoeing of wheels is done in the open air. Forge water cures warts.
    People collect at the local forge and talk about the times. The smith is always a very strong man.
    "The muscles of his brawny arms
    Are as strong as iron bands."
