Messing Works

Messing Works, formerly known as The Right to Bear Arms and Nandemoya Ken, is an iconic workshop specializing in clockwork and metalworking located on Lanerus' town square. Although currently closed for business, the proprietor, Charles Messing, still accepts custom orders.

Description
Standing at two stories tall, this rugged and heavily reinforced building shows signs of obvious weathering due to both age and natural disasters. It features a large, extended smokestack carrying smoke from the furnace high above the town, adorned with a windmill powering the mechanical devices within.

History
A forge known as "The Nandemoya Ken" was built by the late Majima Goro, one of the original members of The Relorian Archaeological Society. Majima ran the shop for 2 months before his untimely demise, having his throat slit during a home invasion.

Following his death, the forge was passed on to his close friend and associate Mikhail Alexeev Sun'Medved who renamed it to the "Right Two Bear Arms". Things went smoothly up until the time Mikhail was kidnapped by Angels.

During this time, the Right Two Bear Arms was commandeered by a member of The Relorian Archaeological Society by the name of Vinny. This occupation lasted only briefly however, before an alchemical mishap led to Vinny blowing up both himself and the entire building, leaving nothing but a crater riddled with specks of Blightburn.

Upon returning and finding the building destroyed, Mikhail abandoned the property. A few months later, an entity referring to itself as The Judge appeared above the crater, and after judging Lanerus worthy rewound the forge to a state prior to the explosion. Soon thereafter, Charles Messing bought the deed to the now-empty forge, dubbing it Messing Works.
