Having reached the pinnacle of our craft in Limsa, we are bored and bother Brithael until he gives us something to do. He gets us a hookup as a personal blacksmith to an esteemed, wealthy, noble house of Ishgard... well, one of those things. Join us for a tale of good intentions and poor fortune in the Heavensward Blacksmith job quest!
