The Forges of Sanctuary are the best that Faethaven has ever known. They are a group of various smiths that have pulled together, put aside their differences, and work to create the very best of equipment for the soldiers of Sanctuary and any person willing to pay the high price for custom made equipment.
With nearly countless furnaces going all the time, the Forges of Sanctuary tend to be a bit on the hot side. In fact the engineers of Faethaven have set up a heated water system to provide heat to the main buildings of Sanctuary when it is needed. Many people find this place to be much more then just uncomfortably hot and is not a place frequented by common folk, but the smiths don't notice a thing and usually complain about the world outside their Forges by "insanely cold".
The only real buildings that can be seen in the area of the Forges, other then the furnaces and the smithies' equipment, are the housing for the many smiths and the building for the nurses. These buildings are small heavily heated due to the fact that they are so close to the furnaces and are mostly a collection of cots, nests, and small amounts of bedding. The smiths tend to try and work 24/7, only taking short breaks even to sleep, but there is always someone to take their place when they need some rest.
Living alongside the smiths are a few nurses specifically trained to watch over and tend to smiths wounded in their line of work. They don't get anymore patients then the hospital itself, in fact they get significantly less, but are more there to make sure the smiths rest once in awhile so they don't collapse. The building for the nurses has no windows, to try and keep out the heat, and is cooled by a mixture of cold water pipes and air vents.
A few guards of Sanctuary stand watch at the Forges, but that is mostly to make sure the smiths listen to the nurses and no nasty rivalries blow out of proportion between feuding smiths. In fact the guards here are mainly just muscle for the nurses as most rivalries tend to inspire the smiths to outdo one another rather then fight among themselves.
