You play as a new member in the Smithworks Guild named Smitta. She has always dreamed of becoming like the legendary smiths of the past. Their legacy and contributions led to their peaceful present time. However, it would seem that the guild was not as she had hoped for with it's questionable business practices and treatment of customers. Same-day blacksmithing? You have to be joking. Surely, it will get better right? Hop on with your fellow blacksmiths and friends and get through these blacksmithing contracts together.(Storyline via IGDB)
