About this ebook

The ancient art of blacksmithing is a thing of beauty. A lot of hard work goes into the process. It’s very complicated, really. Stoking the flames to many small, contained fires—making lumps of metal into differently shaped items of metal—hitting said lumps of metal with hammers to turn them into different weapons. You can shape metals into whatever item you want.
Okay, it might not be a very interesting job, but apprenticing with the best blacksmith in the kingdom is a huge opportunity. Blacksmiths make the tools everyone needs to get about in their day-to-day lives. It’s a very prestigious and impressive position, although this honor is lost when the position is held by Dane, a youthful boy who dreams of greater adventure!
Luckily, Dane has a skilled master to reign in his daydreaming. Viegar has quite an interesting past. From his years on the Royal Guard to his close relationship with the previous king, he’s quite a friend to have on your side.
There is one other apprentice, Snip, who is much more passionate about his duties than Dane. Between the three of them, they churn out powerful weapons and protective armor, usually with no thanks to Dane.
Of course, no cast of characters would be complete without the big man in charge—in this case, a king. By almost anyone’s account, he’s a good and fair ruler, but there is no one in power without enemies. Though Viegar and his workers only want to help their wonderful king, there are still plenty who wish to do him harm. But Dane can only imagine such things. It’s not as if he’d ever be in the position to really make any sort of difference or be in any place of power.
Right?
And though his apprenticeship is mundane and boring, the young man gets a few moments of excitement. Every once in a while, his master Viegar lets him venture out past the village to visit the caravan, where he can trade and buy supplies. It’s the most excitement Dane ever gets in his line of work.
Sometimes, he gets to meet interesting people.
Sometimes, he hears interesting things.
And maybe, just maybe, he sometimes hears of a new opportunity for himself.
But who would want to give up such a life as an esteemed apprentice?
But of course, destiny and desire are not always what you expect . . .

Secrets await!
Solve the puzzle, uncover secrets!

MY NAME IS DANE. I am a blacksmith's apprentice, which is sort of a big deal. Blacksmiths are looked up to in this community. They are people who ensure that we can survive in this dangerous world. They can forge weapons and armor from raw materials, and the equipment they craft keeps our soldiers from harm.

During the day, this world is beautiful. Huge mountain ranges line every horizon. Endless fields and hills surround dense forests and vast savannahs. Freezing tundra, scorching deserts, and deep blue oceans sweep across the cube, all of them filled with remnants of an ancient civilization.

However, when the sun sets, this world shows another face. Hostile monsters crawl from the shadows and the caves, hunting anyone foolish enough to venture out at night. Giant spiders, reanimated corpses, and cursed skeletons make up only a few of these terrifying creatures. Heroic tales tell of many more, each more sinister than the next.

Recently, the king decreed that every town, village, and city should have a city guard: a garrison of trained warriors to ensure that we can sleep peacefully at night. Supplying the city guard with weapons and armor are blacksmiths, who have trained their entire lives to be able to turn raw stone, iron, and even diamond into wearable protective equipment.

The town I live in is called Stathmore. Our village might not be large, but it's home to one of the world's best blacksmiths, Viegar. I've heard all kinds of stories about him, all of them filled with adventure and heroism, but Viegar himself is often hesitant to talk about his past.
