Flint

Flint is the blacksmith at The Oaken Oar of East Britanny in Ultima V

When the Avatar talked with him, Flint showed a serious distrust of magic, complaining that magical stuff was more and more used in shipbuilding. He recounted how in his youth, ships were made from nothing but wood, but as he aged, more and more iron began to replace the wooden sailing ships of old, and he showed pride in these past accomplishments. Still, he bemoaned the fact that now that magic was beginning to be employed in shipbuilding, "no one knows what's goin' on."
