Grindstone work will be your main task when you step into Henrik's smithy. This seemingly simple job, requiring focus and a steady hand, involves directly working on the grindstone. By mastering it, you'll ensure the miners' tools are kept in top condition and might even learn some blacksmithing skills.

Blacksmiths in the Mine's Production Chain play a crucial role, and Henrik is no exception. He stays above ground, focusing on crafting and sharpening the blades of the pickaxes. These tools must be smooth and fine for the laborers who descend into the mine.

Henrik's Character is straightforward and pragmatic. He values hard work and the principle of "learning by doing." He's not just a character in a game; he embodies the spirit of traditional craftsmanship.

Injuries and Challenges in Henrik's Life have significantly affected his ability to work. His injuries prevent him from working as efficiently as before, and the mysterious disappearance of his apprentice adds to his difficulties. Moreover, pressure from The Overseer to maintain a steady supply of tools puts Henrik at risk of reduced wages or fines.
