-Smithing is done above lava pits, used to heat the metal till it's malleable.  These lava pits are built into walls, with only enough space to stick the piece through the gap.  Nobody knows why these pits work, simply that they have never been known to cool.   These pits tend to all be encircling a unused area of the keep. Because of this additional heat, and the advanced tools, it's possible for most skilled smiths to work with adamantite.  this however makes it very difficult to obtain, as all mined adamantite is turned into final product. +Smithing is done above lava pits, used to heat the metal till it's malleable.  These lava pits are built into walls, with only enough space to stick the piece through the gap.  Nobody knows why these pits work, simply that they have never been known to cool.   These pits tend to all be encircling a unused area of the keep.

 +===== Note Worthy Businesses =====
  
 +==== The Clockwork Phoenix ====
 +
 +This bar, complete with a clockwork delivery system, provides high end beer to the denizens. They will begrudgingly provide other drinks, often mocking the individual.  They have an extremely complicated clockwork system for delivering alcoholic beverages to their customers from the center area, simply surrounded with kegs.  Punishments for violence with the bar is mostly meted out through downgrading drinks served to the violent party.   The best bear they serve is a beer brewed in refined teresium, that regenerates six elemental units upon drinking. The  first shift bartender is gay, and has 17 seduction skill.  
 +
 +==== The Golden Hammer ====
 +
 +This is a gold forge that also sells the products made there. It is the largest gold forge there in Firehammer Keep and is known for high end products. It is headed by a dwarf name Hephaestus Goldforge who is running the family business. The average quality of the products is 6 die. Custom products are available on request. (Crosby runs this)
 +
 +==== Crystal Palace ====
 +
 +This is a store that sells handmade glass products. They do all of their own glassblowing and is the best place in Firehammer to get glass products. It is run by a dwarf by the name of Jarold Crystalhide who is quite a gentleman and wears a monocle. The average quality products bought here are 6 die, the highest made to this point was a 9 die, but it was made only once. They will do custom products. (Crosby runs this)
 +
 +==== Mineral ====
 +
 +Due to the method by which the island was created, the mountain itself was originally devoid of resources.  To this end, the [[Mineral]] spell group was researched, and the hooded ones created.
 +
 +==== Gnomes ====
 +
 +[[Gnomes]] are a new race that have been living in Firehammer for the last 1000 years. 
 +
 +Gnomes are, as most races are, extraterrestrial, but unlike others they are inter-planar as well.  They originated from a more more technologically advanced plane.  All gnomes on Jaern are descendants of brave souls who risked their life to test out a new device, which brought them to this plane of existence.  As that tech plane hadn't discovered inter-planar travel before then, they were written off as casualties, and the research was abandoned.  As such nobody came after them, and they were trapped on Jaern with their damaged device.  Early generations wanted desperately to return, and focused on trying to build up an infrastructure of technology, with which they could repair the device an return home.  After several generations, the reason for this fervor was lost, leaving only an immense drive and fascination with invention.  Nowadays, gnomes invent for the sake of inventing, thinking they are honoring their descendants wishes.

 +==== Side notes ====
 + 
 +Vormaxians are highly respected, and their spell "skillful" is in high demand.
