I knew you were making progress but…all this in less than two months?” asked Tobin as his eyes drifted from floor to ceiling and then wall to wall of the vast room.“I know. Having free reign to ensure all is ready in time for your father’s next move has ensured that both speed and quality are equally impressive,” said Nachun.“So it was your idea to have the forges running all day and night?”“Yes. Seven days a week, working in alternating shifts to ensure there is no downtime in production. Bazraki is adamant about meeting his deadlines.”“I’m sure the craftsmen weren’t happy with that.”“Not at first. The worst were the artisans I pulled away from their trades and pressed into service as blacksmiths and fletchers.” The shaman paused and a grin crept onto his face. “However, it is quite remarkable how attitudes change when the matter of compensation is discussed and they come to understand that far more money would be made under my employ than peddling their wares in the market.”Tobin nodded.
