Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wandering the streets within the Kingdom of Tiranoc, you find a very strange building, and within, one could hear something of a bounding noise, as if metal was being tempered, and items were being made. One could smell smoke, as well as see it rising from the chimney. It's a strange sound, but it has it's own melody to it, in a way. Etched into the door of this business would be the strangest symbol one could lay eyes upon, something of a Dragon, foreign looking in origin, encircling what looked to be the moon, the paint of the Dragon and Moon a lovely silver and blue, waves beneath the moon.

A sign, bearing the same markings as the door, stood erect upon either side of the door, reading aloud the following: ~Long Yue's Blacksmith Shop, and Weapon/Armour Trade Shop~

The weapons sold here are exoitc, and are from far off lands, very strange, yet extremely effective, and, special orders can be placed, and sometimes granted, so long as they are within reason, and the King agrees with them.

The weapons are:

Bo-staff; Description: Longer than the average quarter staff, found within Tiranoc, the weapon has a better reach, and is a good deal longer, with a bit more power, and speed behind it.

Jian (Straightsword); Description: A straightsword good for speedy strikes, though quite lacking in power, it is good for quick strikes, and striking vitals rather quickly.

Claymore; Description: Heavy sword, weilded two handed, this weapon can do some serious damage, the long blade gives good reach for running your foe through without much worry of getting hit, your own self; definately a weapon for the adept swordsman.

Tonfa; Desctription: Comes in pairs, though one could choose to use just one, these weapons are rather strang looking baton like weapons, as..the handle on the bottom his gripped, and the weapon itself is just a long stick-like item, which runs along the forearm, towards the elbow, mostly used to swing around, and punch with. They come in a variety of wood, and metal.

These are only some of the weapons in this shop, and more will soon come, but for now, here are the prices.

Bo-staff - 100 Ren.

Jian - 90 Ren.

Claymore - 250 Ren.

Tonfa (Wooden) - 50 Ren.

Tonfa (Metal) - 100 Ren.

The door opened slowly, the sound of musical notes filling the air as the Smithy sat upon a work bench, drawing the bow across the strings of his Viola, the rich, deep notes seeming to leave the shop, and fill the public with their beautiful, yet dark sounds.

Lifting his head from his Viola, he would glance towards the man whom had entered, a calm smile etched upon his lips, a deep, but quiet tone spoken in a greeting. "Hello there, aye'..what can I do for you?"

Returning the said bow, an expression calm, and cool as an autumn breeze came about his facial features, a gentle smile etched upon his lips, he would rise from said bow, and begin to this man: "Good sir, if it is a job you require, then my doors are always open, I've hammers and anvils you can use at any time you desire."

Turning around, he soon found himself gazing upon the wall behind him, looking for the best quality of Steel Tonfa he could find, before grabbing a pair he prefered to call Dragon and Phoenix, one a beautiful Silver and the other a magnificent Gold.

Turning about to the man, he would cautiously wrap the weapons up within a cloth, throwing in a small kit for buffing and polishing these magnificent weapons, before giving a bow upon handing them over. "For you, sir, as you are my first customer, I shall reduce the price by half, that shall be fifty Ren, please."

It was quite in Tiranoc, almost to a point of it being eerie. Then from outside of the doors you could hear a person running, then the doors fly open. A young man in royal garb came barging in. He was panting and began to sweat. He then regained his composure and presented himself with a bow. He then belted out,

"I am Gen, royal messanger from Castle Tiranoc bearing a notice of dire importance from king Aazh himself. His son Von, prince of Tianoc has gone missing. Every citizen is required to meet at the castle gates. There we will set groups to search for him, he disappeared just this morning so he could have not gotten far. Again, please report to the castle gates where you will placed in groups. Thank you."

He then graced the room with another bow and ran back outside.
