Maker's Mark Ordering

[Maker's Mark Ordering]
Away from the din of the main forging area, this small room carved out of the hardened lava serves as a respite from the hustle and bustle of the busy lobby. Future master smiths plot their technique choices as they study charts detailing their future career options. All the while, master smiths deliberate over the design of their soon to be made new master crafter's mark. You also see an armorsmithing chart hanging from the wall, a weaponsmithing chart hanging from the wall, a blacksmithing chart hanging from the wall and a large sign.
Obvious exits: southwest.
