    There is a forge in the village of Creeher it belongs to Tom Reilly. It has a borded roof. There is a bellows, a anvil a sledge, hammers, horse shoes, and a big coal fire inside the forge. It is near a stream on the side of the road. The water the smith uses washes the irons with is good for curing warts. It is a very old forge.
    When a blacksmith is shoeing a horse, if a spark flies at him he will be getting money soon.
