Malthenniel Gunsmithing

''No less than a dozen women from nearly all walks of life walked around the many paths between gear-mounted machinery, within a workshop situated neatly on the docks of Stormwind. At the center of it all was a series of crucible forges that melted down the alloys behind this whole operation, precisely measured amounts of iron, coal, and copper needed to make the steel that went into Malthenniel Gunsmithing's rifles. This metal was poured by careful hands into a long series of aluminium-brass molds, where they were formed into firearm assemblies, barrels, and even proprietary casings of almost a dozen different sizes. ''

''Most of the women who worked here were half-elves, reformed common whores, and the diseased. They were taught to work the machines, and assemble rifles for a person who started her life not unlike them. They worked a good life, and were paid just enough to live comfortably in the middle class of Stormwind.''

''Most of the people who bought from Malthenniel Gunsmithing are mercenaries, or those who nearly worship firearms as a sort of lifestyle. These groups commission weapons with costs in the hundreds, or even thousands of gold. They come here for almost unheard of promises, such as rifles that can rip apart plate armor at eighty yards, or weapons that store bullets inside the gun! All of this is offered to anyone with the right amount of coin, and few requests prove too difficult for the master gunsmith in charge.''

Malthenniel Gunsmithing was founded by an up and coming master gunsmith, Tali' Malthenniel, and had quickly risen to power through a simple yet effective work ethic: If any gun could not be trusted with Tali's own life, then it was to be thrown out. Since it was founded in KC 620, Malthenniel Gunsmithing has come to enjoy a series of generous contracts that allows it to innovate with new weapon designs, and experimental concepts such as the Mechanical Rifle.
