Ironhold

Edric Thorne, after fifteen years of loyalty to the Ironworkers' Guild, discovers a valuable Settlement Core in the Frontier ruins during a supply run, presenting him with a pivotal choice. Instead of selling it for riches or status, he decides to use it to build his own settlement, focusing on craftsmanship and management rather than combat or typical heroics. The story features a base-building LitRPG experience with crafting depth and settlement development that reflects Edric’s skills as a smith who prefers steady work over warfare.
