Blacksmith and Smith as a role in the hidden-road world
The Smith and Blacksmith Girl together define one of the most grounded parts of Opiphilus. They are not abstract crafters; they belong to heat, timing, tool wear, and the daily making of things that must survive the road outside town.
Craft in Via Occulta is not decorative. The workshop is one of the world’s defensive organs.
