The Blacksmith's Ledger.

Found in the back-room drawer of the smith Arvell, transcribed for your use. It is the part of the book that does not need to be read in order — a working sheet you can keep on the desk.

  • The Seven Laws of the Forge

    In the smith’s own order, with his own doubts left attached. Not a method — one year’s worth of writing-down.

  • The full Decoder

    Every name in the kingdom, translated back into the world you build in.

  • The afternoon exercise

    One question to ask of each Law: where did it cost the smith something before he could write it — and where has it already cost you?

  • The fourth line

    The work-song has four lines. Three are in the book. The fourth is here.

The fourth line

The work-song has four lines.

The first three are in the book. The fourth you have to be told. Leave an email and The Blacksmith’s Ledger is yours to download on the spot — the seven Laws of the Forge in the smith’s own words, the full Decoder, and the line the book leaves out.

No noise. Your address earns you the Ledger now, and a word on the day the book ships. Nothing else.
