Bjorn gave them the forge tour because they asked.
Not Hrothgar — the War-King didn't ask for things. He mentioned, over the morning meal in the communal hall, that the steel in the building frames carried a resonance he couldn't place. "Your metal hums," he said, the way someone might observe that water was wet. A fact delivered without request, leaving the response to whoever chose to answer.
Bjorn chose.
He led six Northern warriors and their War-King through the western slope to the forge compound, where the furnaces burned hot enough to make even Northerners blink. The forge had grown since the founding — three primary furnaces, six secondary stations, two quenching bays, and a finishing room where Bjorn's standard production — non-Spirit-Touched blades and tools for the sect's daily use — filled the racks.
