Dialogue
 * "Mortal, aren't you? You must be some sort of hero to be welcomed into the domain of the God of War. I can improve any weapons you find, but if you wish to bear armor more fitting to your heroism, you should seek out the Forgemaster at the heart of the Temple of War."

Walkthrough
Once all the Shadow Mesmers guarding the main entrance to the forge are dead, the gate will open into a circular area with ramps leading up to a platform.

There are several patrols, consisting of Abyssals and Shadow Beasts, and stationary groups, consisting of Shadow Mesmers and Shadow Monks, on the "round course" inside the forge. When it comes to luring, the stationary groups are very steadfast - it is difficult to draw them far away from their initial position. It's best to wait until the patrols are moving away and then quickly move in, take out the group and get away before the patrol comes around again.

Each pair of Shadow Rangers guarding the four ramps atop the centre platform are best taken care of separately by approaching each through their closest ramp. One popular strategy is to have an Elementalist with AoE spells like Meteor Shower or Fire Storm cast those spells from the ramps leading upward on each group.

The Eternal Forgemaster will appear at the center of the platform to give you your quest reward (and additional quests) after you've finished clearing this area.
