Assuming the Fae of Auriel share the same aversion to iron as those of the Feywild from where I am from, I am offering to craft temporary weapons and tools from non-iron materials for anyone preparing for the mission. My trade lies in metalwork, with modest skill in wood and leather. Brass, bronze, bone, horn, or seasoned wood are all suitable.

Time before departure is limited, so I can only take a few commissions.

Separately, I am pursuing a personal project involving spell storage and glyphcraft. If anyone has experience in such work, I would appreciate a private exchange of ideas.

Regretfully I do not know what kind of metal my weapon is made of, but it doesn't really matter because it is currently at the bottom of a river.

So I need a polearm, if you have time. Ideally double-ended, but a single will do. In exchange, I can help a little with the glyphs, if you know what pictos are, or material gathering, or whatever you need. I'm versatile!

Pictos. Now that is a word I have not heard before. If it ties into runework or anything even vaguely symbolic, then it might actually help with my glyph project. You will have to show me how they’re structured, though, or I’ll end up drawing them upside-down and summoning something unpleasant. I’d prefer to avoid that sort of day.

As for your polearm, I can make one. A double-ended version is doable, but it takes twice the balance and three times the patience. I’ll aim for it, but if the mission chews up our time, I may have to start with a single-headed one so you aren’t left fighting with a very dramatic broom handle. We can upgrade when life settles down.

And your offer to help does not go unnoticed. “Versatile” usually means either extremely helpful or extremely chaotic, and I’m prepared for both outcomes. Bring me any sturdy, iron-free material you can find and tell me how long you want the reach. That is all I need to start.

We’ll sort the rest out, and you can introduce me to these mysterious pictos while we work. You get to feel clever, and I get to pretend I’m keeping up.

Runes, sigils, it’s all in that wheelhouse. I’m far from an expert in general but I do know what works for me.

Single-headed is fine, but don’t worry about a lack of balance if it comes to it, I’m skilled enough to compensate. The one I learned on for fighting had two entirely different heads so everything after that is easy.

Touché on being chaotic, but I promise I worked with engineers all the time at my old job and they all lived to tell the tale. In meantime, I’ll venture out and see what I can find and have it back to you in less than a day, maybe? Just let me know where I’m dropping off and I’ll get you sorted out!
