    i can learn lot from the pace of this video. I like how much detail you went into with each thing, enough to get a great picture of the Iron mongers. and their place in the world.

    World building is fun. Too often when writing fantasy worlds there is a tendency to "default" to a standard, or if changes are made they are not significant. Granted when using that standard a writer may instead spend their time fleshing out another part of their world they have more interest in or see as more important, which is totally valid I just wish there was more culture writing in many of the stories/tabletop worlds i have seen. I appreciate this as the closest fantasy "default" i would compare these to are dwarves, and even then the comparison is limited (mountain folk and craftsmen). Keep up the good work.

    I simply love this idea, a community built around creative work that emboldens it's artisans, and whilst metalwork is their focus, I doesn't seem to me they'd discriminate against other forms of craft, after all they are likely to require tools from their fellow community members. And while it does seem they're focused on practicality, I'd love to know their outlook on artistry and creative expression within their crafts.
