Yes. A lot of blacksmiths have been taken captive and are being forced to work like slaves.
I heard that the blacksmiths who have been taken captive are Karrod, Aios, Brunon, Sumari, and Lansia. It looks like Lansia is being kept close to Geork, the head blacksmith.
I'll give you another tip. If you get rid of Blacksmith Geork, it will affect the other Embryo soldiers, so you better remember that when you deal with them.
