Maza Fieldsalder

Maza served as apprentice to Alger Frakk, Phandalin's blacksmith. When Alger's tenure ended under suspicious circumstances, Maza inherited the smithy and became Phandalin's sole blacksmith — a position of considerable importance in a frontier town.

History with the Party

The party first encountered Maza or learned of her existence around Session A14, though the exact details of that meeting are not fully documented. She took over the smithy following Alger's death and established herself as a reliable craftsperson for the town.

Commissions and Crafting

Maza began forging items for the party, becoming a key resource for custom equipment needs. Her work proved reliable and her craft capable, establishing her as someone the party could trust for quality smithing.

The Frost Giant Attack — Session A20

When the frost giants attacked Phandalin, Maza demonstrated her commitment to the town's survival. She joined Alger Frakk (or coordinated with him, depending on the timeline), Halia Thornton, and Toblin Stonehill to save Pip Stonehill from being crushed by a giant. Despite her role as a blacksmith rather than a soldier, she placed herself in direct danger to protect the town's people.

Unresolved Questions

• What were the circumstances of Alger Frakk's death, described as suspicious in the canonical lore?
• How did Maza come to take over the smithy so completely?
• Has she maintained contact with any Redbrand remnants, given that Alger was rescued from Redbrand captivity in the early arc?
