The Scorched Hammer

The Scorched Hammer is the home of Riften's blacksmith, Balimund. The forge and work area are located outside the building, facing onto Riften Grand Plaza. Balimund claims that his forge is unique because he fuels it with fire salts (although his supply is low). However, items created at his forge do not have any special properties.

He adopted Asbjorn Fire-Tamer from Grelod the Kind, and has been teaching him smithing. If anything happens to Balimund, Asbjorn will take over running the blacksmith's. Otherwise, Asbjorn spends most of his time inside the Scorched Hammer.
