 ===== Look and Feel =====
-Santoro Forge exuded refinement compared to its neighbors. Instead of clutter, items were neatly displayed, and the forge smelled of polish and oils rather than raw ore. Marco Santoro demanded silence during precision work, cultivating a solemn atmosphere where apprentices whispered rather than shouted. Torchlight reflected delicately off the engraved surfaces of finished ornaments.
+Santoro Forge had a reputation for being the most orderly and community-minded of the four forges in Firetown. Marco Santoro emphasized discipline and teamwork: apprentices were treated with respect and often ate alongside their masters at the break corner — a rare tradition in Firetown’s rough environment.
+The forge had an atmosphere of practical modesty, with agricultural implements neatly stacked for delivery and polished tools displayed for walk-in settlers. Unlike the more flamboyant Vasquez or the eccentric Bernado, Santoro Forge projected reliability and honesty.
+A defining feature was Marco Santoro’s custom of invoking Saint Barbara, patron saint of blacksmiths and miners, before each major commission. He would pause at the furnace, tracing a small cross in soot on the copper shutter, and recite a short prayer for safety and strength. Clients came to value this ritual as a mark of devotion and blessing, believing tools forged under Saint Barbara’s protection carried good fortune and durability.
