The Blacksmith is curious about the Albaneve Summits region. The North once expanded there to build more Elixir Well and crafted weapons from the local materials to protect them. These materials can only be smelted with the heat produced by a proper forge. Find the forge and claim its heat source! This will enable you to craft a blast furnace.

You've reached the forge, but it's teeming with Scavengers defending their equipment. Reach the heart of the forge and defeat the enemies there!

You've retrieved some bellows from inside the forge! They can be used to craft a blast furnace. Return to your base and craft a blast furnace with the bellows to proceed!
