From ore to metal
Apprentice Ilka finds a heavy grey rock in the hills of Emberhollow. Help her follow the rock until it becomes metal.
Bronze, iron and why metals matter
In the Emberhollow museum, Master Rowan shows an old bronze bowl and an iron nail. Which sentences are true?
The four forge steps
In the Emberhollow forge, a trained smith is making a chisel while you watch from behind the line. Put her steps in order.
The colour of hot metal
Old Master Ferran taught his students to watch the glow of the metal. You stand safely behind the line and listen.
Safe at the smithy
You are the apprentice who checks the Emberhollow smithy before the day begins. Spot what is unsafe or wasteful.
Tools that built our world
The Emberhollow smithy gets three visitors: a house builder, a ship builder and a boy who wants to learn. Answer wisely for each.
- Weavers — From thread to cloth: patterns, looms and clothing for everyone.
- Smiths — Turn raw materials into powerful tools.
- Carpenters — Shape wood into homes, bridges and furniture.
- Potters — Clay, fire and the first containers of civilisation.
- Farmers — Seeds, seasons and the food that feeds the world.
- Glassmakers — Sand and heat become windows, lenses and lab glass.
- Shipbuilders — Build vessels that carry people and goods across seas.
- Watchmakers — Tiny gears, springs and the art of measuring time.
The guild stories are invented, to learn from. Fire, heat, blades and tools are only for trained adults: learn these crafts with a trained adult, never at home. Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
