'''Anvils''' are required to build [[forge]]s, whether conventional or [[magma forge|magma powered]]. Since at least one is absolutely required if your fortress intends to do ''any'' metalworking whatsoever, and the only way to ''make'' an anvil is with a metalsmith's forge (whether from a [[strange mood]] or by normal means), your first anvil ''must'' be sourced from outside of your colony, either at [[embark]] or through later [[trading]]. Anvils require three [[metal]] [[bar]]s to be [[smith]]ed at a forge - once you have one to begin with. As this is recursive, the origins of the first anvil are hard to discern.[[#Origins|*]] | '''Anvils''' are required to build [[forge]]s, whether conventional or [[magma forge|magma powered]].

− | Anvils may normally be made of [[iron]], [[steel]] or [[adamantine]], and smithing an anvil uses the [[blacksmithing]] [[skill]]. Magma forge anvils in particular must be [[magma-safe]], which is not a problem for conventionally crafted anvils, but may be for legendary strange mood anvils, which are often made out of other, non magma-safe metals | + | Anvils may normally be made of [[iron]], [[steel]] or [[adamantine]], and smithing an anvil uses the [[blacksmithing]] [[skill]]. Magma forge anvils in particular must be [[magma-safe]], which is not a problem for conventionally crafted anvils, but may be for legendary strange mood anvils, which are often made out of other, non magma-safe metals. Otherwise, however, neither the material used nor the anvil's quality affects the performance of the forge: only the [[skill]] of the metalworker does. |

* The first anvil was given as a gift from the god of smithing. Engraved with the secrets of mineralogy and metalworking, it taught dwarves everything they know of finding, smelting and shaping metals. There is considerable theological debate going on over WHICH god of smithing was responsible. Some believe that such an outpouring of information could only have been a collaborative effort by all gods of smithing. | * The first anvil was given as a gift from the god of smithing.

* The first anvil or anvils are the only remnants of the previous kalpa. Every time Armok the World Eater unmakes the universe, He leaves at least one anvil behind. The dwarves inevitably find one and use it to make more anvils, at least one of which is carried over to the next world, completing the cycle. | * The first anvil or anvils are the only remnants of the previous kalpa.

* It is unknown at this time how [[Main:Armok|Armok]]'s Anvil of Creation was forged. When questioned by a particularly suicidal dwarf on the subject, he grew very grumpy and quickly unmade that universe. | * It is unknown at this time how [[Main:Armok|Armok]]'s Anvil of Creation was forged.

− | * Dwarves did not create the anvil. Rather, the anvil created the dwarves. A naked, starving primitive protodwarf discovers a naturally-occurring anvil. Its mind roars with vision of prosperity. This is the beginning of civilisation. This leads to the conclusion that the existence of dwarf civilization is a method of anvil reproduction. | + | * Dwarves did not create the anvil.
