Often when people refer to the Foundry, they mean the foundry itself and the many forges that cluster on the streets around it, including the Stormreach Forge. More metal is cast in the Foundry than anywhere else in the city, and the neighborhood’s metalworkers, weaponsmiths, and armorsmiths produce excellent work. The bulk of the goods go to the Stormreach Guard and House Deneith, but the Stormreach Forge also sells weapons to other buyers.
The Foundry is close to a small dock on the river, owned by the Omaren family and heavily used by House Deneith. It allows small ships to dock and load and unload goods. The Foundry requires ore to feed its hunger, and this comes from House Tharashk’s mining operations outside the city. A few dockworkers land highly desired jobs unloading ore and ingots. This work is handed out by lottery every time a ship comes in.
