| “ | Ha, as if someone who was merely 'both a smith and an enchanter' could do what I do. I am Zuzaan, the magesmith! I'm sure some southern enchanter could waggle his fingers over your weapon and do all manner of spectacular tricks, but here in the north things require work, and the best work springs from the most... passionate sires.

—Zuzaan, First Encounter | ||
Zuzaan, the Marefolk Village blacksmith, is one of the only magesmiths in the world, as far as is known to the Champion. She is frequently pregnant, since her she fuels her enchantments with intense pleasure. When not working, she helps out at the marefolk nursery, since her workflow contributes a lot to their workload. She used to travel widely to places like Jassira and Bel Carn, but an old leg injury she got wyrm-hunting now keeps her largely village-bound. She can be found on the eastern-most tile on the southern road of the Marefolk Village.
Appearance
| “ | Zuzaan strikes an impressive figure, a full eight feet of amazonian mare. There's no denying the raw strength in her build, with muscle that ripples as she flexes her arms and back. She probably carried her anvil in here by herself. Coal dirt accumulates on her lower arms, seemingly the only place it's able to penetrate whatever magic she uses to protect herself from the heat. A knowing smile appears on her face as she sees you watching, and she turns to give you a better look.
The smith's front is just as impressive. Two quaking GG-cups strain visibly against the sheer silk wrap she wears for a top, each tipped by a dusky nipple. Her stomach looks more like a barrel than a board, rounded by the onslaught of many pregnancies, but even that is still taut with obvious strength. Beneath the belt her brown hair gives way to the dark chocolate of her sex. Puffy lips that seem to be in a near permanent state of arousal during her work wink constantly to reveal her clit and bright pink insides. |

Interactions
Stepping into the blacksmith's tent, the Champion is taken aback by the sweltering heat inside. Once they've acclimatized, they find Zuzaan pounding a spearhead into shape. When the smith notices the Champion's entrance, she stops and pours a bucket of water over herself and asks if she can help them with something, or better yet -- if they can help her. The Champion asks her what she needs help with, and she responds with enchanting spearheads--and adds that if the Champion does a good enough job, she might even reward them. When the Champion asks for specifics, she pauses, apologizes, and explains that she's been overworked since the centaurs started going crazy, and she's gotten so that she assumes that everyone knows how her forge works: she crafts with passion. Emotion, she explains, is a powerful force, and she finds the peak of desire best for crafting strong bonds. Rage or another powerful feeling would also suffice, but she prefers to have fun while she works.
The Champion asks Zuzaan if she has the time to talk, or if she's going to work all day. The forgemistress chuckles and says that working doesn't prevent her from talking.
With that, the Champion has the following options:
| Option | Tooltip | Result | |

Talk
Zuzaan says, facetiously, that her hobby is getting pregnant, since Kavi's contraceptives counteract her magic, and her work relies on her feeling good. The Champion replies that they're not sure getting pregnant counts as a hobby, and Zuzaan acquiesces, stating she spends most of her not-forge time helping out at the nursery because she contributes so much to their workload. She can help with breastfeeding the children of hunters who don't have time for it, as these days, she has to get a potion from Kavi in order to stop lactating.
She used to enjoy traveling; she visited Jassira where she hunted a dune behemoth, and although she didn't manage to kill it, a few of its teeth hang on her greatbow. She liked Bel Carn, especially its hanging gardens, and found it interesting, as a place where people don't worship The Seven. Although she can't travel much now, she says the village has plenty of entertainment, with people like the Champion around.
She got the injury wyrm-hunting, she explains. She and two other hunters in Jassira went hunting in the Gaovod Mountains, and, unfortunately, they woke the wyrm up before they even realized they were on it. The wyrm split her leg with its serrated tongue, although she didn't notice the injury until she'd already fired arrows into both its eyes. Despite her injury, her hunting party was able to kill it, and one of the hunters was a healer and helped her, although, she says, the extent of the damage did almost make him throw up. But, she adds, she hardly notices it anymore.
Help
The Champion asks Zuzaan how her magic works. She explains that since she's working with magic, the material of the objects means little, as long as feeling is there for her to draw on. She learned smithing before her mother realized she had inherited a gift for enchantment that hadn't been seen in generations; there may be more efficient methods, but smithing works for her. She's heard from traveling merchants that there haven't been magesmiths since the Godswar, and so, she taught herself the craft. None of her over twenty children appear to have inherited the gift.
The basic premise of her approach, she describes, is "hammering the overflowing passion of the world into the weapon." The more passion, she adds, the more the enchantment responds. She grins at the Champion, noting they could make good use of it.
With that, the Champion is able to choose if they'd like to help her, and if so, how.
The Champion is invited to decide how they'd like to help Zuzaan.

Hiring Zuzaan
The Champion can hire Zuzaan to help with Wayfort renovations during A Dragon in the Roost and Wayfort Upgrades.
A Dragon in the Roost
During this quest, the following option becomes available in Zuzaan's menu:
| Option | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Aileh |
Ask Zuzaan to make a heating rune for the dragon's bath. This will cost you 125 EC! You need 125 EC. |
Zuzaan finds a heating rune made from an electrum stamp within one of her trunks, and sells it to the Champion.
Wayfort Upgrades
During this quest, the following option becomes available in Zuzaan's menu:
| Option | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Wayfort | See if Zuzaan can help you upgrade your wayfort. |
The Champion asks for Zuzaan's help, who is delighted by the prospect of working on something large-scale and not weaponry. The Champion's options depend on whether they've hired anyone else for the Enchanter or Blacksmith positions already:
| Option | Requirement | Tooltip |
|---|---|---|
| Blacksmithing |
|
For the low-ish price of 2,500 EC. Just the blacksmithing; 2,500 EC. You don't have enough for this! |
| Enchanting |
|
For the low-ish price of 2,500 EC. Just the enchanting, actually; 2,500 EC. You don't have enough for this! |
| Blacksmithing & Enchanting |
|
Big deal, but still a big spend; 3,750 EC. You don't have enough for this! |
| Leave | - | You'll have to check your pockets for now. |
If the Champion hires Zuzaan, she is grateful for the commission and the trust, and, if hired for the Enchanter position, for the chance to steal away one of the local studs for a week.
Viviane
If Viviane is in the party, and the Champion has talked to her about both Enchanting and Zuzaan, another button becomes available when the Champion approaches the magesmith's tent, giving them the following option before entering.
| Option | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Zuzaan | Enter Zuzaan's tent. |
| Viviane |
See if Viv can explain how Zuzaan's enchanting works on a deeper level. You'd need Viviane in your party to ask her anything. |
Viviane explains that the foundations of enchanting are twofold: intentionality, and the application of willpower to spirit, which she calls essence, but is called "ki" in Kitsuhon.
An enchanter can apply their intention to dead spirits, like she does, which requires 1) that the spirit, in life, had some sort of affinity for the enchanter's end goal; and therefore, 2) a lot of specificity and research. In this approach, as long as the caster does their research, they can use spirits to bind effects to items, etc, long after those items' creation.
Zuzaan, on the other hand, applies her intention to the essence of currently-living things: primarily, herself. To use one's own essence requires an abundance of it, Viviane explains, usually acquired from having lived a particularly interesting life. Zuzaan amplifies her power through sex, which gives her another living energy source. Viviane says that she believes this practice--of accessing another living being's ki through sex--was brought to Belhar after the opening of Kitsuhon's borders, and became a standard of the Empire's magesmiths' approaches.
The effect of enchanting using living essences is twofold: 1) the participants are more tired by the process than the enchanter using dead spirits, but, 2) the result is either a stronger magical item, or an item made more quickly. Viviane says that supposedly many strong magical items were made in this manner by orgies at the College of Estelore, but to her knowledge, they have all been lost.
The process allows--since the essence is living, and mutable--the essence, or ki, to be applied to any item--as long as that item, like the living essence, is also mutable: it must be made during the act of applying the enchantment, as opposed to any time afterwards.
This means the requirements for magesmithing are particularly difficult: the magesmith must have an abundance of their own ki, be an expert in their craft, and have the physical and mental stamina to create while having sex. Zuzaan, of course, fits all those requirements.

Pregnancy
The Champion can impregnate Zuzaan through the Fuck Her sex option present through the Help option. Typical Pregnancy rules apply. For more details, see Zuzaan Pregnancy.
Pregnancy Stages
Zuzaan has pregnancy stages which add variation to her Appearance and Fuck Her scenes.
| Stage | % Through Current Pregnancy | Duration (Normal) (270 days) |
Duration (ShortPreg) (45 days) |
Appearance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | < 10% | 0 ~ 24.3 | 0 ~ 4.05 | Her stomach looks more like a barrel than a board, rounded by the onslaught of many pregnancies, but even that is still taut with obvious strength. |
| 1 | >= 10% && < 33% |
27 ~ 86.4 | 4.5 ~ 14.4 | Her stomach has begun to swell with child. The roundness of her belly has noticeably increased, but she doesn't seem any less enthusiastic in her work. |
| 2 | >= 33% && < 75% |
89.1 ~ 199.8 | 14.85 ~ 33.3 | Any doubts about her pregnancy are long past. Her belly swells noticeably, even from behind. Instead of slowing, she seems even more invested in her work, staring at you with longing eyes between swings of her hammer. |
| 3 | >= 75% | ~ 202.5 | ~ 33.75 | Zuzaan is absolutely gravid. She hardly works the forge anymore, stopping to whinny and cum after every couple strikes of her hammer. The need in her eyes when she looks at you is enough to set your heart to racing. |
Late-Stage Pregnancy Sex
If the Champion visits Zuzaan when she's 90% through a pregnancy (roughly 243 days or 40.5 days for Short Pregnancy Mode) and not be within the last 22 hours since the Champion last visited, they find the forge oddly quiet, and a glance through the door flap reveals that Zuzaan is out.
The Champion is given the option:

Meeting Zuzaan might be a little overwhelming right now, but you're sure you'll be fine. |
