Tempered Steel is a weapon shop in the Imperial City Market District. It is located in the southwest corner of the district, along the outer wall just north of the guard tower.

The proprietors, Hurgkvar Sohrensen and Sarah, have 800 each, a Mercantile skill of 50, and buy and sell weapons. The shop is divided into blunt and bladed weapons, with a counter on each side - blunts to the left and blades to the right. Hurgkvar handles the former; his counter has various warhammers and war axes on display, as well as an open barrel before it containing some cheap waraxes. Sarah sells blades; her counter likewise has various claymores, longswords, shortswords, and daggers on display, as well as a barrel of cheap longswords. Two more tables in the middle aisle have a mix of weaponry on display - axes, maces, swords, daggers, and even a glass helmet. A display case at the back contains a set of ebony weaponry: a dagger, mace, warhammer, and claymore.

A door under the stairs leads to the basement, a common area shared with the neighboring shop, Plated Plate. The first room is strictly storage - crates, barrels, and cupboards - along with a couple wine racks. A door leads into a second, larger space, which has a forge; this is where Klatau does his repairs and makes new armor. The crates and barrels here hold miscellaneous items as well items for his work - repair hammers, tongs, and other tools. The third part of the basement is the largest; it has yet more containers, chests of armor, a barrel of iron maces, a steel dagger, short sword, and longsword set out on a table, and a table with repair hammers. Another set of stairs goes up to Plated Plate.

The upper floor is a hallway with three rooms off it. The first room is a common area/dining area; it has a dining table with four chairs, counters along the wall with dishware and beverages, a dresser of flatware, a food cupboard, and shelves with silver dishes and a glass mace, and a copy of Ahzirr Traajijazeri on top. Hurgkvar's room is in the middle; he has a double bed, dresser, chest for his valuables, and a bookcase with various books and clutter items. Sarah's room is down at the end. It is a small room that contains a double bed, two dressers, and chest for her valuables; there is also a small jewelry chest atop the tall dresser. She is something of an alchemist - the lower dresser has an alembic and mortar and pestle on it, along with bowls of aloe leaves and mugworts seeds and two potions of restore health.
