"The Dragonbone Helm"

Model for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Modeling by Jonah Lobe

Here's a free worldbuilding idea for you:

The reason that dwarven smitheries are so large isn't necessarily due to them being a more industrial people, but that because the smithery is also the community center! So, where are dwarven cities usually located? Deep underground, where it's cold and damp, necessitating a need for warmth. Now, I don't need to tell you that blacksmiths aren't just warm, they're stifling. But, they need to be in order to get the metal hot enough to be workable. As a result, this makes the dwarven smithery the warmest, dryest place around. Not to mention, the heat doesn't really have anywhere to go, in the sense that warm air isn't just going to float up into the atmosphere. Since the forge is going to need to consume vast amounts of fuel anyway, without necessarily being able to acquire more very easily, there isn't going to be much fuel to go around for other purposes. So, obviously Urist McBlacksmith's family would likely be with him in the smithery. The warmth is going to be there anyway, so it only makes sense. Over time, less immediate family members and friends would gather at the smithery, then friends of friends and so on and so forth. Of course, this gathering would mean that the smithery building needs expanding, some areas being adjusted to not be directly related to smithing, but for the comfort of the others. Eventually, this would inevitably evolve into larger and more communal areas. As the areas get larger, the smitheries themselves would also get larger. After all, not only does it make heating the larger area easier, one large smithery is going to be more fuel efficient than two smaller ones. To add onto this, the smitheries themselves would likely end up being seen as communal as well, something that anyone can simply wander up to and start using. As a result, in a dwarven community not being able to do at least basic blacksmithing would be akin to an IRL human not knowing how to cook, which would inevitably feed back into the cultural importance of smitheries.
