The atmosphere within the workshop is alive with energy as an apprentice watches attentively, eager to learn from his master's expertise. This scene not only showcases the laborious nature of metalworking but also highlights the passing down of knowledge through generations. The guild system plays a significant role here, as it ensures quality standards and fosters camaraderie among craftsmen like Delaulne.
