Forgery:
Forging weapons is an important part of Dark Messiah, though you might be underwhelmed by the forges for the first few levels. The only thing you can make is a Long Sword, and you can find those lying around anyway. In Chapter 7, however, you'll find a bar of Flamegold, which you can use to make the excellent Earthfire Sword, which is great for killing those damn spiders. If you don't purify your soul in the Sanctuary of Ylath (seetab six, "Inner demon"), this is the best sword you're going to get.
