- "Now, when you use that Persuader in combination with a dagger, it's my sense that it's best if you keep the dagger in your starboard talon and the Persuader in your port one. Then you can advance using a beat/parry sequence with the Persuader and a compound riposte with your dagger."
- ―Orf speaking about his newly forged weapons, The Rise of a Legend, page 72
Blacksmithing is the art of metalworking, and is spread widely around the owl world. The craft was first envisioned by two owls, Grank, the first collier, and his student Theo, but the one to perform it and eventually perfect it was latter, who was then known as the first blacksmith.
