> *"May this forge be bright and its flames strong*" > *- Engraving upon the entrance to Rothmund's Cradle* # Overview Rothmund's Cradle is the massive forge that lies within [[Rothmund's Hills]], only accessible through Villefort, the capital of House [[Verfille]]'s holdings in the [[Crownlands]]. It is said to have been carved out of the mountain by [[Blooming Blades|Sir Rothmund]] himself and is the only place that [[Sol Steel]] can be refined. The Cradle is of vital importance to House Verfille, both politically and culturally. The only way to enter the Cradle is with its key which is currently held by [[Esclamonde Verfille|Count Esclamonde]].
