Ancient Vault - Blacksmith is the first Ancient Vault most Flameborn reach in the Springlands. Oswald Anders, the Blacksmith, sleeps here in a Cinder Vessel. He is the first craftsperson to be rescued, and he later points the way to the other survivors. The Flame sends players here in the quest Find The Sleeping Survivor. Waking him also unlocks the recipe for the Summoning Staff. Balthazar's notes inside tell how the Cinder Vessel was built and why the Blacksmith was the first to sleep in it.
Where to Find Ancient Vault - Blacksmith - Map Location
The vault lies north of the Cinder Vault, on the far side of a stretch of Shroud. Rookmore is just to the south. The Ancient Spire - Springlands rises a short way to the north-east. A Flame Shrine stands right beside the vault. Scavengers guard the ground outside.

Two silver chests are hidden at the vault. One sits behind a secret door in the wall near the "Venture Forth" note. That chest is locked and needs a Lockpick. The other waits on the tower above the anvil.

Lore Pages
Both notes come from Balthazar's Cinder Vault set. In "Eureka!", he finally makes a Cinder Vessel work on a rat named Igni. The rat sleeps but can be woken, and time does not touch it. In "Venture Forth", the vessel is finished but still unstable. The first human to enter it will be the true test. The Blacksmith volunteered, and he must sleep until someone wakes him.
