Location:Â Ishgarde
Who may mention this:Â Non-Ishgardian import/export Merchants, Ishgardian native
Rumor: A good deal of steel has been showing up in lowborn Ishgardian  hands.  Almost all the blades that have been seized are light, well crafted Falcions with no makers mark or stamp noting the origin forge, which marks them as black or grey market illegal imports.  No bills of sale have been recovered.  The examples that have been seized are too high a quality steel and craft to have been made in Ishgarde, where quality weaponry and steel is in short supply given the Dravinian siege. Â
While many of these blades are seen worn on the hips of the unhappy in more socially unstable areas of the capital, some have been put to work by other poor families as chopping instruments to recover scrap wood and heating fuel in the wake of the recent attacks.
