[@Aristocles]

Koglan looked down at the young goblin, "Ahhh shirking your errands a little." He chuckles, "It's fine. Everyone needs a break." He walks into his forge then quirks an eyebrow, "You wanted to see a sword?" He hums and looks about his forge, "A sword...goblins don't use swords very often my young friend." He hums looking about somemore. Seeing finished maces, axes, small knifes, a spear or two, and armor that needd to be fitted for this warrior or that. Then he hums and the old Goblins face lights, "I have a secret to show you." He waves the young goblin in, around the forge and then up to a darker area of the forge he kneels and pulls up a small wooden bench down by the floor, "This...is something I have shown only one other person. I hid it because...I don't know if anyone could ever do it the honor it deserves."

Out from under the bench comes a 3 foot long, maybe 4 inch wide cloth swaddled thing. Koglan brings it out, "I want this to be a secret between us." He pulls the cloth back, bits of dust and dirt falling to the floor, as he reveals a curved steel sword, made in the goblin way, but with ornamentation that is very rare, "I made this as my Master Work, young goblin." Koglan explains, "The item I forged with my own hands that denotes my rise to being a master weapon smith." He pulls the rest of the sword out and then carefully sets it on the floor, "My Master, the late Smith Dunst, said it was one of the greatest weapons he ever saw made." Koglan smiles, "One day I hope to give it to someone. Someone who will care for it, and use it wisely in defense of the tribe." Koglan hums, "Maybe you one day young goblin." He chuckles, "Remember, this is our secret." He pats the boy on the shoulder, then starts to wrap the sword back up, "One day it will be in the hands of a great goblin warrior. On that day and only that day will I be fully satisfied with my life as a smith I think."

Koglan carefully puts the sword away, "Run along now young friend. Get your mother the water she needs. And remember this is our secret." He stands slowly and smiles at the young goblin.
