Forgelight District

This area got its name from the furnaces and foundries that run all day and night, giving it an orange glow when seen from the walls or The Roost Towers. It produces most of the city's metal, wood, and gem based products and accommodates a nearly constant stream of wagons entering and exiting the district, day and night, through all six of Old Vashton's gates. The wagons head straight for this district to offload raw materials for the forges and workshops before quickly leaving, laden with newly created products.

The House Kundarkak crest is seen all over this district, with many of the forges, workshops, and factories proudly displaying them on their signage, doors, or windows; even those who don't display the crest are still members of the House. These craft halls are not allowed to sell products that they make directly, except to House Ghallanda approved shops, but they are allowed to accept money for commission work. The only place that kind of gets around this is The Ever Burning Forge, the temple to Torag.

There are two considerably different styles to the wall around Forgelight. On the border with Silverwall to the north and east, there is an oddly tall inner-city wall that seems like it should be the outer wall of a city, devoid of gates or other access points to connect the districts, and covered in a poorly maintained, white plaster, an attempt to look like the Akariean Silk walls found in Old Town, Temple District, and Open Gate, but the soot and ash created in Forgelight have turned their façade rather black. On the other hand, the district's border with The Market and Open Gate is a much shorter and thinner, dark, iron wall made of tools and weapons welded together with a few pieces of scrap metal. The wall itself is nearly constantly being added to, as when a well-loved craftsman retires or a budding young apprentice graduates, they might have their hammer, chisel, or tongs heat welded to the wall as a sign of respect, and no one else will ever wield that tool. Something might also be added out of disrespect, such as if a customer refuses to pay for an item that they have commissioned from a craftsman; they can announce that they don't even want the scrap metal of that item back and would rather see the whole thing forever bonded with the wall so that no one can ever use it.

Silverwall residents dislike that their wall is considerably dirty on the other side but continue to maintain that it is the responsibility of those within Forgelight to keep it clean. Sadly, few people who live or work in Forgelight care, considering the whole thing to be rather pretentious. This feeling is amplified by the Silver Guards from House Orien who are hired to ensure that the soot and ash don't make it over the wall and make Silverwall as dirty as Forgelight. They do this by blowing the residue either back into Forgelight or over the district entirely and into the city as a whole, which is not highly appreciated. Depending on the weather, this can mean anything from the temperature being lower within the district to soot and ash being blown about in the streets, particularly those close to the border between these districts.
