Story
Mistrz Krasnal sits in front of a dark, carved door at plac Solny 13, with a heavy mallet resting in his hands. His long, wavy beard hangs over a work shirt with rolled-up sleeves, and his crumpled pointed cap tips to one side, like that of a craftsman who has just finished a long shift. The playful story is that he is the master of all the dwarfs, who trained every one of them, so he is the one to ask if you get lost. Look for him tucked against the doorway, and give him a nod of respect.
