Welcome to The Forge!  

You've now entered Elanthia's first website devoted exclusively to the display and description of the weapons, armor, shields, and helmets we adventurers in GemStone III use on a daily basis, but haven't necessarily seen.  

What you'll find here are purely historical presentations of Elanthian combat equipment rather than game descriptions of them.  If you'd like to know more about the proprietors of The Forge and what The Forge is and is not about, click on "The Forge" button in the upper left hand corner of your screen.  The other buttons in the frame at left will help you navigate your way through The Forge.

(Updated the Links section again on 23 September 1999)

The Forge is a Proud recipient of The Mausoleum's 5-Star Award!

We would be more despicable than merchant campers if we didn't take a good bit of space to gratefully thank Lord Morandas for his selfless assistance in the creation of The Forge.  In addition to creating the most complicated images displayed here, Morandas has been our mentor in the often frustrating art of site design.  His undeniable artistic talent, technical expertise, and limitless patience are without peer.  If you've been off the face of the Earth the past few years and haven't seen his Mausoleum, click on the graphic above for a quick link to it.  You'll see it's no surprise he won Simutronics Corporation's first GemStone III Player Site of the Month competition.  Thank you, Morandas!

Have questions?  Comments?  Do you have an item we overlooked (like that's possible!)?  Write us about it, but use small words and simple sentences -- verbs are optional.

If, after having a look around The Forge you should feel inspired about how dangerous that Khopesh in your sheath really looks, use the GemStone III link at lower left to jump to Elanthia.

See an image or text here you like, and think you'd like to use?  Don't hesitate to ask, we'll gladly share with you.  Just don't hesitate to ask Before you use it, else you'll be in violation of more laws than you could shake a stick at, and we're not quite ready to start displaying pike-mounted heads in here (it's still a family show, no room for that R-rated stuff)
