Erendil, a burly dwarven smith is a fat, brown-bearded dwarf who joined the city of Targossas shortly after its founding, but many years prior he was a bartender to the Templars House in Shallam. He keeps a smithyard rather than a bar now, offering his forged wares on the Beladan Metalworks to all and sundry.

Erendil's Wares

Indigo-edged beltloop - 350gp
Soft, stretched leather dyed to a subtle, charcoal hue twines together to form a supple loop, its length no greater than the size of an average wrist. Elegant strands of indigo thread hem the smooth material, the clever stitchwork patterned into a series of stylised scimitars and pyres. The needlework traverses the external edges and disappears into the middle of the loop, where the colour delves into dense black. A small ring of silver attaches to the top of the beltloop, pressed into place by a matching grey tag. The images of a falcon and angel are stenciled onto opposing sides.
Slender wrist sheath of black and gold - 350gp
Designed to be clasped around the wearer's lower arm, this slender sheath tucks snugly under the cuff of a shirt yet allows the weapon within to be drawn at a moment's notice. Glossed to a high shine, the leather exterior is painted a dense black and smooth to the touch in an effort to provide comfort as well as durability. An attractive motif of two crossed scimitars suspended above a gold pyre scores deeply into the material. Thick laces of matching ebony attach to the main compartment in order to be fastened securely.
Indigo leather backstrap - 350gp
Supple, high-grade leather, tanned and dyed a deep indigo in the Beladan vats, has been fashioned into a simple backstrap, designed to be worn diagonally over the shoulder. Holes have been set at neat intervals along the back of the strap for easy adjustment, with sturdy silver hooks occupying two of the holes, ready to receive a shield.
Fluvial silver belthook - 350gp
The swirling pattern of the metal, characteristic of silver sifted from the Silverveil silt beds, adds a touch of intrigue and elegance to this otherwise simple belthook. The piece itself is a single silver rod, bent into a hook with a small fastener at the top to attach it to a belt loop, designed to carry weapons close to hand.
Studded leather baldric - 350gp
A thick strap of midnight black leather, tanned and treated to keep it flexible and sturdy, is inset with a double row of small gold studs. Fastenings at one end close the strap around a complicated brass assembly, designed to hold a weapon at the hip and etched with an image of a stylised sun rising over the horizon. A gold buckle in the centre of the front length of the strap allows it to be easily adjusted, and adds a further contrasting splendour to the baldric's functionality.
