Hey! You? Me? Lacrosse on the beach?

It has come to my attention, thanks to a discussion with the lovely Felicity, that we could use a potential blacksmith here. After all, this is a very wet, and humid climate meaning the metal and tools we use will rust quickly; meaning they'll lose their consistency and begin to chip easily. So I think I'm going to begin plans for building a blacksmithy. I figure others will want to help, and I'll be glad for it as it will take a bit of time.

But, it'll allow us to build more complicated tools, as well as repair ones. Shears, hammers, even swords and shields but those are likely not as necessary. Long knives for cutting foliage, axes for gathering more wood. I imagine, that at some point, the gods and goddesses will stop just giving us materials, as they expect us to build our own society. So being self-sufficient will be necessary.

I'd like to try to build it close to a river, as well as a decent distance away from town just in case the forge has any problems. I don't need a large building for it, just a roof over the top, only thing that really matters is the forge itself, an anvil, and a way to heat things up considerably. I don't know much about blacksmithing, but I've seen it done quite a bit, and I know I have good hands that allow me to be accurate, so I know I can do it. It MAY take some practice though, but anyway... I think it'd be helpful.

Well... this was a bit unexpected. I had not expected the climate to be so tropical, but it is quite lovely here.

Though I should probably introduce myself while I am on here.I am Mei Ling Zhou from the group Overwatch. I've come here to help with what I can in hopes of building a better tomorrow. My expertise lays with engineering and ecological studies. I have high hopes that we can get along and bring about a future that is much brighter than the past.
