"Of course, princess," Mera responded by taking Yifa's arm.  "I'll gladly lead you where you need to go."  Leaving the inn, she attempted to answer the question posed to her.  "Make...?  I would say, your highness, that we<em>possess</em>many such things.  But the craft of making such wonders is sadly, sadly, diminished, I'm afraid.  Today's designs, compared to even designs from the era of the Shogunate, are ill, crude things, more functional than anything else."  At this, she seemed almost..sad.  "Things just have been going downhill ever since the First Age ended...the quality of artisanship is next to nothing."
