Dialogue
Small Talk
H'naanza: Are you just seeking to pass the time, or do you have an honest interest in armorcraft?

What would you like to know?
What do you do here? Tell me about crafting armor. Nothing.
Selecting "What do you do here?"
H'naanza: Me? Hah! You must be new in Limsa. I'm H'naanza, the head of Naldiq & Vymelli's forgemaster and shipwright. H'naanza: I spend a good portion of my time here in the Armorers' Guild, trying to hammer my novices into something resembling true artisans. H'naanza: We lost too many of our skilled veterans to that damn Calamity. Too many... H'naanza: I see it as my Builder-given duty to not only pass on the techniques of the armorer to the next generation of artisans, but to improve on those processes as well.
Selecting "Tell me about crafting armor."
H'naanza: At a glance, working a sheet of plate seems simple. You take your chosen metal, then heat, hammer, and bend until you achieve the desired shape and thickness. H'naanza: There is, however, much more to the process. An armorer needs to learn how to work materials of varying hardness, such as bronze and iron. And shaping them into gauntlets, shields, and helmets is no easy task. H'naanza: You must direct your blows with strength and surety as would a smitty, but an armorer needs something a smitty doesn't: delicacy. Without that, it wouldn't be long before tiny flaws crept in to compromise the defensive strength of the plate. H'naanza: We make works of art with flame and steel, and there's never a day that I'm not damn proud to be an armorer.
Additional Information
While H'naanza uses a Keeper of the Moon model, she is named like a Seeker of the Sun. This might be an oversight.
Lore
H'naanza Esi serves as the head of Naldiq & Vymelli's, and as forgemaster of the Armorers' Guild. Moreover, she is a vaunted shipwright, and the Triumph, the flagship of the Crimson Fleet, is of her design—a great accomplishment for one of thirty-eight years. At present, the Seeker of the Sun has left the building of ships to others, and devotes her considerable energies to instructing new armorers in her craft.
